Hi all ,

Was wondering who makes a great OOB Corsair 7D or E that I can build for a Vietnam style plane with the 2 tone I think AF used it Tan and Green.

Have not built a Plane kit in 30 plus years then well was not very good.


Thanks a bunch

Hi!

If you want to build a bird in the three-tone "South-East Asia camouflage", light green, dark green and tan over light grey, you´ll have to go for the A-7D USAF version.

In 1/48;
Hasegawa A-7D/E family, nice kits overall.
Revell-Germany A-7D, reboxed Hasegawa to half the price with different decals.

In 1/32;

Trumpeter A-7D and -E, nice good kits with plenty of thingies to hang under the wings!

The smaller scales are unknown to me!

Cheers!

Thank you Stefan.

Think I will go with the Hasegawa in the E as you said.

Will look into that Half price kit also.


Nice setup you have their a whole cabinet of Humbrol paint and a nice workbench full of kits in the Build process.


Again thanks.

Hi Jeff!

Please excuse me, I got the designations reversed, doh!

If you want a USAF SLUFF use the A-7D and for a NAVY SLUFF use the A-7E!

I´ll edit the answer above so It may seem a bit odd, but THIS is the corrected answer!

Cheers!
