Here's Hasegawa's 1/48 scale A-7. It was detailed with some of the parts
from the Verlinden Update set including the ejection seat, armament from the
Hasgawa weapons sets and a scratchbuilt instrument panel. Each instrument
was individually made from p/e Reheat bezels and reheat instruments punched
out with the old Waldron punch and die set. Tedious, but I like the effect!

The intake cover is a vac-form item from Bill
Koster's sheet of various covers. Many, many thanks to my best
friend, Joe Wierzbinski for giving me his 15+
year old sheet of Microscale Hi-Viz decals. We thought they might fall apart
under water, but they went on like they were new! Airplane was weathered
with the standard oil paints/turpenoid wash and chalk pastels.
