Hobby Boss A-7

[Maverick]

Hi Gang,

Modelversium has just got a review up of the Hobby Boss A-7A

http://www.modellversium.de/kit/artikel.php?id=2872

Looks like she's loaded to the gills with some nice detail and even includes the FLIR pod used on later -7Es, but I suspect this as the weapons sprue is generic for the A-7 range.

Looks very nice, but I'm waiting for the double cabs!  Bring on the TA-7C and A-7K!

[Maverick]

Have to agree there Scooter, single sticks have been done, but conversions thus far have been the only way for a twin tub.  Nice to see the training unit get a guernsey in the decals too.

Hey guys,

2 seater A-7 is here, Hobby Boss released both a single seater A-7 like Maverick shows, and also a TA-7C.

If anyone is interested, I have 2 Single Seaters and 1 2 seater in the shop, $20 CDN each plus shipping.

I kept a 2 seater for myself, and it is a nice piece of kit.

For those prices I wouldn't be surprised to see a plethora of What If kits based on the new A-7 kits.

You greedy bugger!  

Why is it most of us (including myself) seem more interested in the twin seater?

Regards,

Yep the two-sticker is here in the UK, if anybody out there is desparate and cannot wait, drop me a PM I'll pick one up for you....

Nice to have an early Corsair readily available again, the Fujimi A/B/C's are getting increasingly rarer to find. Nice marking options - Vietnam era 'Argonauts' and the Corsair College - don't think I've seen that anywhere before not even on an old Microscale sheet - I'm sure DORK will correct me if I've erred.

I was going over the future releases on Hannant's, and it seems that they're planning to do the whole series - there are listings for the D, E and K models, as well as the A-7H(Greece) and A-7P(Portugal).

Anybody got pics to post, or links to pics of the TA-7??  That almost made the SLUF look pretty...
