Are the the Navy and SEA camouflaged ones from the Vietnam War era?

Thanks everybody!
It is damn nice to have the bench cleared up and on to something else. I start to lose interest after about 2 weeks of something being on the bench...even if I haven't been working on it! Having these big mouth suckers on the bench all summer...it was almost torture!

Yes
And the all grey was in the Gulf War, I believe.

OK you can stop all that foolishness with your uncanny skill at 72 scale kits and get on some 32 or something like that.

That's what I wished my A-7E looked like - stunning work as always Fermis and thanks for the mini-review.

If you had to build another again - which kit would you go for?

Well.....

The H/B is the easier build, has better details/options. Even with it's shape/accuracy issues (which can be made better), I'd say it's the better of the batch...but it is WAY newer than the others. Wish we could get a new tool, with a more accurate shape(intake, canopy, gear bays and wheels).
In 1/48...Hasegawa all the way!!!
