1/72 Fujimi Vought A-7D Corsair II

[flyjoe180]

In my endeavours to get the stash down and not buy anything new, I've finished another one. The Fujimi 1/72 Vought A-7D Corsair II, a kit that hails from the late 1980s. The only non OOB additions are nose wheel well structure added using plastic card and Tamiya tape belts for the seat. I used exclusively Mig Ammo paints, varnishes and washes on this one, using AK masking putty. The nose intake was a real pig, I lined it with thin card, filled and sanded the edges to blend them in. Decals were very good, thin and bedded down nicely even after sitting in a box for 30+ years.
