Hasegawa 1/48 A-7E VA-86


Recommended Posts

My latest completion is the Hasegawa 1/48 A-7E Corsair II of VA-86.

Decals are from the Hobby Boss kit and the kit seat was replaced by a Verlinden

A-7 seat. Bomb load is from the Hasegawa weapons set. Always wanted to do this

scheme ever since I saw it in the movie THE FINAL COUNTDOWN.

And that's all folks.

Nice build there, I like those markings.

I'm wrapping up on the Hobby Boss A-7A and just need to apply the ordnance. To any would be A-7 builders, go with the Hasegawa kit as it is the better model.

Thanks Scott. Was wondering about the HB kit. Thought I'd go ahead and give it a try

since I pilfered the decals.

:cheers:

Nice build, really nice build. The A-7, especially the D version, is one of my favorite airplanes. We used to have 3 ANG units here in the Buckeye State that flew the A-7D/K, and we saw them flying around all of the time. One of my best friends retired from the 178FW. Before that, he was in the USN, specifically

VA-86. For these reasons, I absolutely love these markings, and you did a great job. I have a couple of sheets for VA-86 for the A-7, and plan on putting them on a 1/48 scale Hasegawa kit.(thanks for the advice, Scott) Your build will hopefully get me fired up to do mine. Again, great job!!!
