I have 13 in the stash. But these two will be kit markings. The A will be VA-93 Blue Blazers bicentennial scheme. The B will be VA-215 Barn Owls bicentennial

I went a looked those schemes up. Very nice choices! I did the VA-93 Linebacker scheme a couple of years ago. I still have a couple more A-7s in the stash.

I have always liked the lines of these aircraft. When I was a kid, I used to draw a lot and these aircraft were the subject of interest in most instances. Great progress and it's gotta feel good to get a model down off of the shelf and finish 'er up. Looking good Johnny.

Thanks guys

The Barn Owl has decals. It's a good thing I have multiples of this kit. The first set of decals wouldn't come off the backing paper.

That looks great!
