Now this is a crappy way of attaching drop tanks to the sprue. More work to clean them up.

Got the wings together. They actually went together with no issues. Lined up great with no gaps.

The detail's not so bad - IF you compare it to the Airfix and Matchbox kits I have in the stash - at least there IS an IP 
Love the A-7 - looking forward to seeing this come together!

Thanks Portman!
If it didn't have raised panel lines I'd be willing to overlook the kit issues.

That looks decent enough under a coat of paint.

That cockpit does look good painted up. I guess I'm in the tiny minority: while I will paint up a cockpit to make it look as good as possible, I won't go and add a bunch of extra detail that is very hard, if not impossible to see. I want to get my model done, not languish on the cockpit for such a long time. Besides, I haven't the skill set to do something like that, even in my own chosen scale.
Keep going man, this is looking good.

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

Medic, looking good. Thanks.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Typical of Revell stuff but you are doing a great job making a good build out of this one. Good goin' on the pit BTW.Medicman71 wrote:Now this is a crappy way of attaching drop tanks to the sprue. More work to clean them up.
