Hi guys,

I am looking for pictures of opened avionic bays and other hatches on the A-7D or E. Can anyone help ?

Thanks in advance,
Marc

Marc, I probably have some but they are not digital and I'm going to have to figure out a way to post them for you.

I'd send you the originals, but one of these days, I'm going to finish my A-7K conversion.

Vodnik sent in some excellent pictures of the landing gear bays. They are all posted at Prime Portal. Take a look:

He did a fantastic job of covering the A-7D and the A-7E.

Hope this helps!

Have you found what you needed? None of my photos show a close up of the opened avionics bays, just a partial from a distance. None of my reference books do either.

If you can find one, Verlinden's A-7 update kit is very good, but I think it might be discontinued.
