Surface painting was done using acrylic color Vallejo models, mixed to match actual aircraft FS paints, and sealed with clear gloss varnish Vallejo.

What a truly outstanding build of a classic USN attack aircraft, the A-7E Corsair 11. A near perfect build, coupled with an excellent paint job. Decaling looks like they were painted on using masks, so it doesn't get any better then that. And your weathering. You really nailed it, as the A-7E has that "used but not abused" operational look to it.

Thanks for sharing your excellent build with us.

A beautifully done naval bird! I agree with Joel's comments on weathering.

Wonderful. Is this the 1/32 from Trumpy or the 1/48 from Hasegawa ?
