A-7D Corsair II redisign and recolor

[John Bowden]

OK........ with the crash and loss of page 1 I got tired of gray & white so I started recoloring SEA Camo also and will start modding Roman's A-7E into a "D" model. So I'm starting a A-7D Corsair II thread to keep the Navy and Air Force from fighting!:rolleyes: I'll keep going on the "E" and work on this one as I get bored or aggravated at it.:rolleyes:

Here is the first page with the camo (no test build to check for alignment yet) and I've started modding it into a D Model........removed the Navy IFR probe and corrected some panel lines......... still much, much more to do.

I figure with the SEA Camo theme I should be able to do up a couple of USAF Nam birds..........request will be considered as I haven't totally made up my mind which one(s) I'll do. Keep in mind that GPM has one and I really don't want to replicate that one.

Anyway I just wanted to get some feedback, comments and ideas........so fire away.

GPM did a good job with the coloring/ rendering of the Corsair 2 in SE colors. A re do may not be the best way to go unless you plan to out do what they did ( I did build their version and really liked it ).

How about 2 tone grey or green such as the Air National Guard?

Nice one Raja!

[John Bowden]

Issac - I'm not sure I can out do them, but I did want to do a Nam bird so the SEA Camo scheme was a must......... (maybe the pic below)

Two tone green grey bird will happen.........

Raja - I'm not saying "No", but I would need lots of time, great pictures, really great close up pictures, and dedicated beta builder(s)

Ray - I want to do a shark mouth bird, so if you have a particular one give pics. See above post to Raja for the Bicentennial Bird.........

I also plan on doing a Hellenic Air Force bird and this camo scheme will work on the E model.

started on the Molar Marauder, but I think the Green is too dark. It hides the panel lines and stenciling.........

[Loui]

that's A Good clean teeth... lol

great re-color, i like it.... Can't wait to see the fuselage and the wing, the teeth is the ' bomb' :)

Gotta play with the colors........... but it's getting there.

[John Bowden]

went back to the Navy Bird to get some former and panel lines done up right..........so this green and tan and dark green will benefit from it also.......... just slow boring stuff right now.
