About product

A-7P Corsair II 1:72 - Hobby Boss

Injection-molded plastic kit of the A-7P Corsair II attack aircraft in 1:72 scale from Hobby Boss. The A-7P is the export version operated by the Portuguese Air Force. The kit comes from newer molds, with finely engraved panel lines, a well worked-out cockpit and detailed landing gear bays. It is supplied unassembled and unpainted.

The real subject

The LTV A-7 Corsair II is an American single-seat subsonic attack aircraft derived from the F-8 Crusader fighter. It was designed to carry bombs and rockets for precise air-to-ground strikes and was notable for its long range and load-carrying ability. The Portuguese A-7P variant was created by converting earlier airframes for the needs of the Portuguese Air Force, where it served in coastal defense and training. The short, stocky fuselage with its large nose air intake is characteristic.

Building and painting tips

Finish and paint the cockpit and the nose gear bay before you close up the fuselage. Fill and sand the air intake and the fuselage joints carefully. Paint over a primer, ideally with an airbrush; the Portuguese gray-green camouflage schemes come to life once the panel lines are picked out with a thin wash. Fit the pylons and the stores only after the base coat has gone on.

Who the model is for

  • For fans of Cold War carrier-based and attack aircraft
  • For anyone interested in the Portuguese Air Force and its aircraft
  • For collectors of jet aircraft in 1:72 scale
  • For moderately advanced modelers

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The A-7P is the export variant operated by the Portuguese Air Force, created by converting earlier airframes; it differs in its markings and in the equipment fitted for Portuguese service.

The model is made by Hobby Boss as an injection-molded plastic kit in 1:72 scale from newer molds.

The parts fit reasonably well; the fuselage joints and the air intake call for the most attention, and otherwise a moderately advanced modeler will manage it.
