This is my recent build, a Hobby
Boss 1/72 A-7D Corsair. I was planning to build another Phantom to enter the UK Nationals and planned to
open some panels but when I saw this Sluff, I changed my mind. HB already opened
avionics' bays for you so don't need to worry about scratch
building and buying aftermarket resins (saving me precious time)

Building is straight forward and it didn't
have any major problems except misaligned holes in the bombs for
attachments and missing pitot tubes. It is not included and this is
my entry for OOB category, so scratch building it is a no no.
No black pre shading done, instead of painting the panel lines first then
the misting the middle part with paint. Then my home brew panel line
sludge.
A coat of Klear on the parts that will receive decals and flat coat after.
I also includes my F-4 and F-5 in
SEA livery in one of the picture just to show my SEA A/C collections.
Nothing special done but manage to get a medal from the recent Scale Model World
(1/72 OOB category).
Hope you enjoy it.
