Trumpeter 1/32 A7 E Corsair II

[@mikeg1593]

SPOT ON!!!!! I was an AMH mechanic with VA-153 aboard the USS Oriskany CVA 34 (70-73). This is something I’d be proud to own and display in my shop. Good Job 👍👍🇺🇸

[@clonefox80]

Thank you very much Mike,,,its good when people who served with these aircraft like my work, comments like yours inspire,,, Thank again ;)

I was in the squadron VA-82 BASED IN JACKSONVILLE,FL Stationed on the Nimitz r... Loved that plane,

[@johnreynolds6291]

Wow. That model is so Realistic almost feels like your Actually on the Tarmac at night. Outstanding Build

[@philr3510]

Gorgeous! Excellent work!

[@BrookieCooki84]

Sweet build! Surprised us with the lights!

[@andrewboettcher8269]

Outstanding job on this bird. I never got to work with the A-7 (before my time). I worked with the F-18C. Your Corsair looks amazing. I was wondering why the box said USS A-7E Corsair since a ship wasn't named on the box.

These Trumpeter kits are a Chinese company,,and let's say, I don't think they have such a thing as a , proof reader, in their marketing department,,, there's a good 5 minute giggle to yourself as you read the literature on the sides of the boxes and instructions 🤔😁,,,but I love their kits, Thanks for the comments dude

[@davidallen1213]

Hi, excellent work indeed! I'm just building one of these myself - can I ask a question please? Does the kit require any weight to be added to the front end to prevent it being a tail-sitter? Thanks in anticipation.

[@clonefox80]

Hey David,,if I remember correctly, there's no need to put extra weight in the nose,,the cockpit and intake parts are so far forward that it balances nicely,,of course with the metal landing gear too,,you should be good😉

[@davidallen1213]

@@clonefox80 That's very helpful...many thanks!

[@rocdoc2370]

did you just make the bird with the VA-46 decals?

[@rickbarg3980]

You have a gift my friend🇨🇦

[@clonefox80]

Thank you for your kind words sir, glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@azdave2721]

Everything about this build makes me smile. You have created a masterpiece. Reminds me of my father. He flew this type. How did you come by the ordinance trolley?

[@clonefox80]

Thanks for your kind words, I always envy people who have had first hand experience with the aircraft. The trolley was scratch built using some foam boards, and a set of wheels from an old toy car, off my son... Thanks again..

[@dpiper2743]

Nice build. Where did ya get the photo etched parts for this model thanks.

[@clonefox80]

Thanks for your comment,, The 'photo etch' comes with the kit.. This is one of my favorite kits

[@iv-s2416]

这个HB和长谷川旧版的问题一个样，机鼻、进气口和机尾外形，背部加油口细节……做得让人抓狂

[@zhuhenry9586]

Is this a good kit?

[@clonefox80]

The cockpit is not great,,but overall, very good, detail and quality

[@zhuhenry9586]

@@clonefox80thank you Sir. God bless.

[@rengglir90]

[@clonefox80]

This is a song I wrote with 'the parlor rollers', about 20 years ago,,it was called 'beautiful day',,and this is the only version I have,,we might re-record it... Check the parlor rollers YT channel if you'd like to hear more.

[@clonefox80]

The music is from my band 'the parlor rollers'. This song called 'beautiful day' from 1998...we're still writing music.... I'm the singer. Got a few more tunes on my channel, and on Bandcamp.

[@tensecondtwoii4182]

Great build! I tried looking up "the parlor rollers" on Bandcamp but got nothing. You have a web site or something else where I can listen to the full length version of "Beautiful Day"? THX!!!

[@clonefox80]

Too bad it's not a B model with a twoseater....
