1/72 Fujimi A-7D Corsair II

[Helo 53]

This will be my second build for the National Reserve GB .

Fujimi's 1/72 A-7D Corsair II with Microscale New Mexico ANG Bicentennial , Spirit of 76 markings

Looking at a photo from my A-7 SLUF reference book by David F Brown, ther are some different types of missile's

on the underwing weapons rack ?

Could any help in identifying what type they are .

That's a LAU-88 triple rail launcher, which was used for the AGM-65 Maverick. A training Maverick can be seen on the bottom rail. You can find the launcher in one of Hasegawa's weapon sets.

Nice! Another New Mexico ANG subject!

Gonna watch this closely, as I've got several Fujimi SLUFFs in my stash.

Thank you kindly for the help on the missile launcher and weapons

I have some of those Hasegawa weapons sets and box number four seems to have what I need ;

In the pic I posted earlier , it's hard to tell if one or two Mavericks are fitted ?

This will be my second Fujimi A-7 build , the first was an A-7B "Ban Owls" with bicentennial markings .

I'm looking forward to starting this one .

Only one missile on the bottom rail. Just as the bottom drawing in your instructons. And it's got no rear fins, as it is a training missile.

Thank's Lancer ,

It also appears in the photo od the New Mexico A-7D that there are no fuselage side missile rails fitted either .

[Lancer512]

Well, I can see something with a round nose between the missile and the fuselage (look at the blue stripe), but this could be on the inner pylon? Maybe MER with Mk20?

Any luck on getting started on this one?

[Helo 53]

Nothing started as yet on the A-7D .

Hopefully in about a weeks time I can start cutting parts from the sprue , I need to finish the HH-3E builds during the course of the next few days .
