D_IcarUS_ Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) Hello gents, For a long time way from the workbench, so it's time to return to it. As for this return I've to build the A-7 E II Corsair, scale 1/48 from manufacturer Hasegawa. An Aires cockpit will be the only aftermarket goodies on the kit. The markings of the will be that which came with the kit: "Valions" So here go the first in-progress photos: The box-art and the AIRES cockpit Dry fitting of the cockpit after remover the panel glare of the kit: Overall dry fitting of the main fuselage. It's a really good work from Hasegawa Sanding and more sanding to fit the cockpit under the air intake part: More sanding on the internal part of the intake: To make a breake from SANDING.... gluing the nose landing gear two parts: After sanding and more sanding, as you can see, on the left side it was too much. No big worries as it will not be visible So far now that's all and so far so good. Thanks in advance for watching. Edited February 24, 2011 by D_IcarUS_ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
D_IcarUS_ Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 By the way: does anyone have some "decent" photos of the electronic bays of the A-7? I want to add more detail to them, but couldn't fine any nice images of it. Any help will be great. Thanks in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites

D_IcarUS_ Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 Hey Jerry, Thanks for your reply. I do have in fact the Squadron Walkaround book, ref. 5544, and in fact there a few pics from the avionics bay, but they are far away and we can't see them in detail. http://pla.gr/catalog/images/squadron/SQ5544.jpg Regards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
