A-7B Corsair II 1/48 Scale Kit from Hobby Boss 80343

The LTV A-7 Corsair II is a notable carrier-based subsonic attack aircraft introduced to replace the A-4 Skyhawk in the Vietnam theatre. It later served in USAF and Air National Guard roles, covering missions formerly flown by the A-1 Skyraider and the F-100 Super Sabre. The A-7 traces its roots to the F-8 Crusader and featured technological advances such as a head-up display and inertial navigation systems.

This Hobby Boss 80343 release models the A-7B variant, initially equipped with the TF30-P-8 engine and later updated to the TF30-P-408 for extra thrust. Some 196 A-7B aircraft were built, and the kit captures many of the variant's characteristic external and cockpit details.

Why Model the A-7B

The completed model makes a compact but striking addition to an aviation collection, with crisp panel lines and realistic cockpit cues. The kit is rewarding to finish for modellers who enjoy accurate assembly and authentic finishing work.
