1/72 A-7B Corsair II

A highly detailed model of the Corsair II, in many ways looking like a scaled-down version of the 1/48 Hasegawa kit or 1/32 Trumpeter kit. Avionics bays are molded into the fuselage halves, the cockpit has a correct rear deck behind the ejection seat, and a proper nose-gear well is included. "Things under the wings" are included in the form of FLIR pod, two drop tanks, two Sidewinder missiles, two MERs, and 18 Mk82 bombs (with 10 normal and 10 "daisy cutter" fuses). Cockpit and landing gear are very well done, and in this scale perhaps Hobby Boss can be forgiven for using decals for the panels in the cockpit. And speaking of decals, we are given markings for two colorful A-7Bs: AE/412 of VA-215 "Barn Owls, and NJ/501 of VA-125 in Bicentennial colors.
