Very excited about this popping up as I have the A-7 by Hobbyboss.
Some great shots of the undercarriage which, as usual, is excellent. Ill be using this as reference pictures, if you dont object.
Its just beautiful.Comment

The A-7 from HobbyBoss has multiple issues, both in general shape and size.
I don't want to sound totally negative here, but the fact is, the Trumpeter 1/32 kits, and the HB 1/48 kits that came from the same set of CAD data are just flat wrong from the leading edge of the wing forward. The entire forward fuselage is flattened, which throws every single shape up there way out of whack. The canopy, windscreen, radome, and intake are all horribly mis-shapen.
Like any airplane, some will say the kits look fine as-is. It's a matter of personal choice whether the inaccuracies in the kits bother you or not, but it's not a matter of opinion as to whether they exist. They do, that's a fact.
