This new decal sheet from Cutting Edge Modelworks includes markings for 1 special A-7E Corsair II. 

This aircraft is a A-7E with VA-15 Valions.  BuNo159642 on the USS America.  

The VA-15 Valions have history going back to shortly after Pearl Harbor and have flown a variety of planes including the A-7E Corsair.  This sheet focuses on one of their more colourful A-7E. 

The paint scheme is pretty straight forward with FS 16440 on top and white FS 37875 on the underside  and the tail.  The markings are the colorful witha  blue and yellow lion on the tail, with a blue and yellow stripe on the tail.  The flying surface on the tail has6 stars in different colors.  The wing flying surfaces are white and the horizontal flying surfaces on the tail is also white. 

 

The decals were flawlessly printed and in perfect registration with good colour.  

The instructions are clear and include colour drawings to assist in decal placement. There is also 1 pages of text including with helpful info on decal installation

This is a classic looking scheme and will look quite good on the big 1/32 Trumpeter A-7E.

I would like to thank Cutting Edge Modelworks for providing me with this review sample.
