F-toys 1/144 - A-7E Corsair II - VFA-25 "Fist of the Fleet" - Completed

F-toys 1/144 - A-7E Corsair II - Completed - 1
Remodeled and repainted F-toys A-7E Corsair  II in the VFA-25 "Fist of the Fleet" livery. Used YKraft decals and weapons from DML Dragon.

Was a very easy model to do but for some reason took me months to finish. If i was to make this again  would use different pylons on the wings, fro some reason the f-toys ones are really plain while the rest of the jet has real top notch detail.

Because of the cool fist holding the lightning like Zeus i decided it would be only right to have a full payload of weapons on this bird, imagine this jet dropping bombs like Zeus throwing lighting to earth.

Ready for a sortie, weapons come from a DML Dragon A-6 Intruder set.

Think this photo show the great detail on the F-toys Corsair, which i think is the best available.

Beautiful.

I have a soft spot for aircraft that have perceived mouth/intakes.

I wish I still had my 1/144 models, cleared them all out and now they are in the hands of a family who's kids love them. A good home. I still miss my 5 Dragon MiG-23s, loved that kit the most.

Would like to model a mig-23, but will have to build some from the stash first, its getting too big.

I like the decal especially the one on the tail and the pack of missile look awesome.
