A-7E Corsair II in 1/200

[cafe]

Hi,

I'm designing an A-7E Corsair II in 1:200. It shows clear influences from Chaiwat Kosatanakom and a bit of Trotskiy.

Here are pics of prototype #2. The nose cone has still to be designed.



More pics in this thread. (including test-build #1).

Very impressive looking design!

Cheers!

Thanks Jim.

That thing has a nose now... a bit too wide I think. I may have to make some changes to the front fuselage so I can make a smaller one.

Pylons added.

A little pic of my 3 A-7E (first draft, clean-up, and actual pre-prod example in the back) on John Bowden's USN carrier deck.

Thank you, John.

Very Cool!

All you need are some tractor tugs, starter units, bomb carts and teeny tiny people in yellow, red, brown and purple shirts running around all over the place and you'd have a ALPHA Strike pre-launch situation!

Nice addition of the stripes!

Great job on your Corsair II.
