Beautiful work, especially with the intake and grafting the HobbyBoss wheel bays! Almost had a heart attack when you glued the fuselage together before installing the cockpit! Wonderful video, thanks!
This is a re-pop of the old ESCI/Ertl A-7, I have the USAF version in my stash. It is a bit crude by today's standards but 30+ years ago it was considered good, you did an outstanding job on this old nugget!
Also have this kit. Currently working on it now. I have honestly got to say I'm rather disappointed by the quality of the moldings. I'm aware of it's vintage being first released by Esci and then by ERTL prior to Italeri. On my example it has become obvious how bad the molds have degraded. Mine had a grainy finish on parts, incomplete or jagged panel lines (re-scribing them by the way), and general poor fit. I'm not addressing the lack of intake trunking just going to use the included FOD cover. I used Eduards PE set to dress up the spartan cockpit and some exterior components. Your build turned out excellent. The video of your detailed build was a pleasure to watch.
Its a decent kit.! I had pneumonia in 2017 and was stuck inside. I built the a7 and f84 thunderjet also from italeri would recommend both 👌 nice work the results you achieved are fantastic
Easier method of filling bad panel lines is using old sprues stretched over a lighter to very thin string. You simply glue them were needed and sand them.

How do you make a strong bond when gluing parts to painted surfaces? I would love to build and paint airframe before adding the landing gear, bay doors, and small parts, but can't get around this problem.
Congratulations on a outstanding work...came out a beauty of o A7E kit...i have both the Italeri and hobbyboss kits in my stash...but also have the Fujimi that looks more accurate than the other two. Did you use the hobbyboss landing gear too? ....again, beautiful work and imagination...cheers
Thanks. I have not had the opportunity to buy a Fujimi kit, I know that it is of good quality. The main landing gear of the Hobby Boss kit are too thin, the wheels are smaller, so I took the main landing gear from the Italeri kit, the front leg in the Hobby Boss kit is made with high detail, so I put it on. Gear doors is from Hobby Boss kit.
This is a disposable surgical scalpel from which I made a scriber. Here you can see it ruclips.net/video/PUArGQzkG74/видео.html It's a bit primitive, so I bought a dental instrument (I don't know what it is for, it was just bent as I needed) and made a new scriber out of it. Here it is ruclips.net/video/NdrRFh-quaE/видео.html
Of course, the kit was sacrificed. In addition to its advantages, it has many disadvantages. This was done in order to complete the Italerie kit in order to have a Corsair model. A Fujimi kit is a rarity here. In this case, money didn't matter. Sometimes resin parts cost as many as several kits.
Thank you. Sturene sheet is very thin, it is from cans of dairy products, I have now measured the thickness - 0.25 mm, so it is easy to give it the desired curvature. In addition, the curvature of the channel is determined by the lower and upper lips of the air intake.
A serious question: Why didn't you throw the Italerie kit away and build the HobbyBoss kit instead of improving the bad kit with parts from the good kit?
What´s wrong with Italeri? The same problem with many aircraft. They look allright, but when you look at the details, someone made them with their feet...at night....while drinking wine!!!
Why so you keep hating on the kit I think it was a good kit I may not be a professional but I know that a good kits a good kit I do this hobby for the fun not for how bad a kit is I'm not hating on you but it's just needs to be said
I agree with you. If you build models for fun, that's fine. But when you assemble a model and want to get a good result - it's a little different. If quality did not play a role, we would not see the beautiful Tamiya or GWH models. Thanks for your opinion and comment.
Technically that is not an Italeri kit but an old Esci. And a trash one. (As bad as the Hasegawa Phantoms.) The Fujimi kit is one year older, and still much better. BTW the overdone panel lines make it looks like a toy. I never understood this mania. Have absolutely no reality in it.
From the point of view of scale, all lines must be sanded, since the seam between the panels cannot be displayed in 1:72 scale, but all manufacturers depict them. These lines are better than those that were on the parts initially. This video is not a guide how to apply panel lines. I am just trying to build something from this kit and show its quality. And I don’t like to leave the assembly because I don’t like the panel lines. Esci or Italeri - what's the difference? This is firewood.
And why is it good to highlight those lines even further? Yes, I know this kit. I have it too. MY opinion on it is the same. Purchased mainly for the windshield and the decals. My Fujimi kit's windshield has broken to million bits (so thin they made it, it exploded when I cut it from the sprue) and there is not a single aftermarket canopy/windshield to this craft. BTW I am in the brink of shove all of my Hasegawa kits (except the Sabre Dog, that is decent at least) into the trashcan. The engineering on those kits are just idiotistic. Probably engineered by people who never assembled a single of their products. Most of the parts are not positioned at all, especially not in the nose section. Their F-4 is one of the worst in 1/72, and their F-15 is crap too. Both of those kits are from the 1980s, and they just simply repacking them all the time. And of course every repack means a raise in the price. The F-15 is in the same price as the GWH F-15s, but the two are not in the same league (Hasegawa in the 2nd/3rd lowest, GWH in the 1st highest). It is popular to look down on the Italeri kits, but most of the hyped and praised Hasegawa kits as bad as those bad Italeris. And there are a lot of Italeri kits that wash the floor with its Hasegawa counterparts (for example the A-10A/C). And well, the Hasegawa A-7 kits are even worse then the ex-Esci/Italeri. Never understood why Hasegawa is so praised. They are fucking overrated.

You’ve a right to be tired! That’s a bloody lovely result though, worth all the effort.👍🏻👌🏻
Thanks
Great job!!!! I was in that squadron at that time, looks like the real thing!! Thanks for the memories!
Thank you
I am just starting to build the KA-6D, but this will be the next model after that. Thank you for sharing.
You knocked this build out of the park!!! FANTASTIC build!!!!

Thanks, usefull tip
OMG! Yet another fantastic piece... Keep them coming.
Wow! You made a wonderfull job from so simple model!!!
Thank you
Lovely work! 😊
Thanks!
Wow. Fantastic build. Enjoyed watching
Thank you!
Perfect 👍👍 Making me want to build some US Navy aviation from the 1970’s 😀
Thanks!
really nice build, thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
Шикарная модель в вашем исполнении, сам себе такую заказал и уже жду когда она приедет. Спасибо за видео)
Спасибо.
amazing craftsmanship!
It's great work. Also looks good and like an actual one.
Excellent result.

Спасибо. Скрайбер из стоматологического инструмента.
Amazing work! You are really great!
Уровень впечатляет!

A beautiful model was turned into a checkered sheet with a wash.
Thanks for the kind comment.
We try :)
Very nice for 72 scale
Really nice work…
Thanks!
How do you make a strong bond when gluing parts to painted surfaces? I would love to build and paint airframe before adding the landing gear, bay doors, and small parts, but can't get around this problem.
The glue I use will strip the paint off. Before gluing the paint must be scraped off with a knife.
Great work
👍👍👍👍
Thanks! I enjoy watching your videos.
@@Fred_SPb thanks
En realidad el mejor A-7 es Fujimi ,que actualmente está descontinuado. Excelente mejoras en este kit Italeri.
Conozco el set de Fujimi, pero desafortunadamente no pude encontrarlo.
Congratulations on a outstanding work...came out a beauty of o A7E kit...i have both the Italeri and hobbyboss kits in my stash...but also have the Fujimi that looks more accurate than the other two.
Did you use the hobbyboss landing gear too? ....again, beautiful work and imagination...cheers
Thanks.
I have not had the opportunity to buy a Fujimi kit, I know that it is of good quality.
The main landing gear of the Hobby Boss kit are too thin, the wheels are smaller, so I took the main landing gear from the Italeri kit, the front leg in the Hobby Boss kit is made with high detail, so I put it on.
Gear doors is from Hobby Boss kit.
Hello,
What brand and type is the scriber you use please?
Congratulations for the result!!!
This is a homemade scriber made from a dentist tool.

here you can see it
Muy buen trabajo, te felicito.
Muchas gracias
Nice build Aleksandr. What is the small scriber (in the grey handle) that you use to engrave the panel lines?
This is a disposable surgical scalpel from which I made a scriber. Here you can see it ruclips.net/video/PUArGQzkG74/видео.html
It's a bit primitive, so I bought a dental instrument (I don't know what it is for, it was just bent as I needed) and made a new scriber out of it. Here it is ruclips.net/video/NdrRFh-quaE/видео.html
Have you sacrificed Hobby Boss set? Did it make sense and did it pay off?
Of course, the kit was sacrificed. In addition to its advantages, it has many disadvantages. This was done in order to complete the Italerie kit in order to have a Corsair model. A Fujimi kit is a rarity here.
In this case, money didn't matter. Sometimes resin parts cost as many as several kits.
Espectacularrrrr
Very nice!👍
Amazing work! I'm shocked by your use of styrene, how did yo curve it so well?
Thank you.
Sturene sheet is very thin, it is from cans of dairy products, I have now measured the thickness - 0.25 mm, so it is easy to give it the desired curvature. In addition, the curvature of the channel is determined by the lower and upper lips of the air intake.
@@Fred_SPb Excellent, i'll try it!
Again, wonderfull model. Thanks for sharing!
@@santiagoburgos3911 If you want to try using styrene from cans, you should find a triangular sign and the letters PS at the bottom of a can.
The former ESCI kit still remains the second best in this scale after the Fujimi Corsair.
yes, after fujimi, but it is already very far from being a good kit.
Очень понравилось .
Спасибо
What ratio is the paint
I don't have a ratio. I dilute the paint so that it is like milk.
@@Fred_SPb thanks
How do you make your wash?
For making wash I use Tamiya enamel paints (in square bottle) and odorless thinner for paints.
A serious question: Why didn't you throw the Italerie kit away and build the HobbyBoss kit instead of improving the bad kit with parts from the good kit?
Hobby Boss kit has good details, good fitting, a lot of rivets BUT it has horrible geometry and shape.
And this build is a kind of challenge for me.
@@Fred_SPb I forgot to say that this is really an outstanding result. Beautiful little bird!
Shin Kazuma agrees
Lovely job but please give up smoking!
