This is a 1/48
Hasegawa A-7E Corsair. I used the Black Box cockpit but was rather disappointed
in the way it turned out. I have built enough planes with Black Box cockpits in
the past that turned out good. But this one .....I just do not like the way it
looks. I would have to guess its 95% my fault, so I'll just have to do better
next time. The model itself turned out fine as did the decals for VA-86 Sidewinders
from a old Superscale sheet I received from another ARCer some time ago.

As the plane is the CAG
bird the weathering is minimal compared to the VA-82 plane in some of the
photos. I did that one a year or two ago. What a difference a couple years
make when you compare the CAG bird of the 80's to the 1977 version.
That's about it. Not
my worst ever build, but far from something I am REALLY happy with. Guess I
better break out another Hornet.
