Biiiiiig thanks to James from FEJ for arranging safe delivery of this gorgeous aeroplane...stores should be here soon too! FEJ do a good range of schemes for the A-7, including the gull grey and white one, but I just fancied finishing mine myself. Ralf at Tailor made is making me a decal and paint mask set for the specific aircraft selected (pic below) and given my current rate of building, I recon she should see light under her wheels pretty soon...maybe as early as 2020! I'll have to be a tad quicker than though that as Barry Atkinson wants a review of it for RCJI...hence not too many pics here yet!

Also got to say thanks to The General for answering the load of questions I had before I placed the order...look fwd to seeing your new one soon Lewis!

Cheers,

Dick
England

Mr Matt, Somewhere near 1/6th - about 90" long.

Status: offline 		Nice project. Ever since building the small JHI A-7 a few years ago I've wanted to build a larger one. Watching with great interest.
I painted mine and used Ralle's water slide decals. You'd do yourself a big favor aquiring them as dry transfer rub-ons from Ralle vs water slide. He can do both formats well.
There are a ton (!) of markings on the A-7....as you'll see.

Status: offline 		Great choice Dick. That is going to look mean all bombed up. I think you are right to paint it yourself too. Can't complain about FEJ paintwork too much, but all these ARF's look a bit "sterile".

Yes, I know!
Plastic tablecloth is much cheaper than a divorce lawyer.

Hi Ian,

Yes, we need you back!!! Re the cake, yes, I gathered my slice got 'lost'...still, we'll only have to share with Aldridge en route to JetPower

Aldridge; yes, and probably (if you survive till 2020 and unless something happens when you share a room with Geoff at the Nats )

Florent...thought that might make the good parts twitch!

Thanks Smchale, a real good point...putting waterslides on is tiresome, rub-ons might be better...I'll discuss with Ralf. BTW, looks like a stunning job you did on yours...very nice!

John, yes, that was part the reason for not having it painted...I'm trying to dirty up my Mirage a bit, add more decals, etc to take away that Airfix Model look. It's coming on OK but would have been easier to do with a bare airframe. I've bought the pylon kit too (not here yet, still being made) and the drop tanks...bombs not available but easy enough to make a pattern and take some off so, hopefully, will look good when done.

Cheers,

Dick

Geoff.
