       I was impressed with the quality of the Hobby Boss Corsair, and  would recommend it. I needed VA-122 markings, so this really fit the bill for me, and I got a good price and service from Just Plane Hobbies. The decals were nice, but the stripes on the Stars and Bars were a little out of register. The fit was good, and the detail is very nice for this scale. There are 2 avionics bays to leave open, but I sealed them up. The build is pretty much out of the box with the addition of several pieces from the Eduard A-7E photoetch sheet.

  I chopped out the closed intake, and painted the exposed interior flat black. The top wing/fuselage joint needed a little trimming, but I got it to fit tight without filler. I just "welded" it with thick cyano. The top anti collision light is tail light sprue.

     I built this one for my friend and VA-216 squadron mate, Mike R.. He'll be presenting the model to his friend, who served with VA-122. I wish I could be there to see the reaction! Enjoy the photos, Mike!!!
