About product

Xtradecal 1:72 Vought A-7B and A-7E Corsair II in color schemes, the first part

A decal sheet in 1:72 scale from the British brand Xtradecal, focused on the colorful periods in the service of the Vought A-7 Corsair II carrier attack aircraft in the A-7B and A-7E versions with the US Navy. The package contains printed decals only: neither a model nor parts are part of it. It is the first part of a series, each part has its own content and an overview of the motifs is given on the packaging.

The real subject

The Corsair II came about as a subsonic carrier-borne attack aircraft meant to replace older types for attacks on ground targets. In shape it grew out of a larger supersonic fighter, but it was shorter, more robust and carried a substantially greater load on external pylons. The A-7B and A-7E versions differed chiefly in powerplant and equipment; the A-7E was given a more powerful engine and a more advanced navigation and targeting system. The machines served with the carrier squadrons of the Navy for a number of years and their schemes changed markedly over time.

Application tips

Sheets focused on colorful periods contain conspicuous large-area motifs: stripes on the tail surfaces, fields of color and squadron badges. With such decals the precision of the trim decides. Cut the surplus clear film around the motif away with a new scalpel blade while it is still on the sheet, close to the printed edge; you will spare yourself a visible glossy border after matting. With a stripe that passes over an edge or a rudder, rather divide the decal into two pieces and set them against one another than draw it over a sharp corner.

Who the sheet is for

  • modelers of American carrier-borne subjects in 1:72 scale
  • builders who prefer bolder color schemes
  • those who build more than one machine of one type in different markings
  • modelers replacing poor decals from an older kit

The package contains decals only. The kit, paints, varnishes and softeners are not part of it.

FAQ

No, these are only a sheet of decals. The Corsair II kit has to be obtained separately.

Put simply it is a generational shift in equipment: the A-7E was given a more powerful powerplant and a more modern navigation and targeting system. The external differences are small, so check which version your kit depicts.

By the particular machine you want to build. The content of the individual parts does not overlap, so compare what is stated on the box.

With large motifs we recommend it. A wide clear margin will show as a glossy outline after matting. Cut with a new blade and as close to the printed edge as possible.
