Tamiya 61607 1/100 Scale L.T.V. A-7A Corsair II Scale Model Kit  [61607]

1/100 Scale A-7A Corsair II Model by Tamiya

The Tamiya 1/100 Scale L.T.V. A-7A Corsair II model kit captures an important U.S. Navy attack aircraft from the 1960s. First flown in 1965, the A-7A served throughout the Vietnam War and operated from carriers such as the USS Ranger. The aircraft family progressed through B, C, E and D variants and remained in service until the early 1990s.

Scale Appeal and Accuracy

The A-7A is noted for its practical design and mission role. Scale modellers will find the kit yields a faithful outline and provides scope for panel line painting and subtle weathering. Tamiya tooling generally ensures tidy part fit and straightforward subassemblies at this scale.

Hints for a Tidy Finish

Because of the small scale, careful preparation and neat painting are key to a satisfying outcome. Use fine sanding sticks to eliminate seam lines and consider light washes to emphasise recessed detail. Decals benefit from setting solution and a clear coat to lock them in place.
