Ok so here is my in-flight A-7 Corsair!
Not too bad, I got her on the stand today. I think I might go back and adjust the stand so she sits a bit farther nose down, polish the brass rod and clean up the base a tad, but I am otherwise calling this ’un complete! This 1970’s vintage kit built up nice, and the Hasegawa Weapons kit worked very well, as she is packing two hard-points with the Mk.82 Snake-eye high drag bombs and two hard-points each containing one of the massive silver napalm canisters, ready to pound down any potential bad guys trying to reach a downed pilot! The final addition of two hard-points each with Spare Fuels Cells would give her maximum dwell time over a given area as our would-be pilot is extracted.
As another person said of this early kit, it was pretty weak, and was at times a real struggle, but it was great practice kit. I still need to do a better job with panel washes and streaking. there is really no streaking on this kit. I think next time I will pay the extra Shekels & Rubles for a kit that is a bit more modern, but I will add that the Printscale decals, although a bit challenging for my skill level, were very pretty and a pleasure to work with, and I would not hesitate to buy them again.
So thanks far looking!

"Corpsman Up!" Hue City Vignette completed for the USMC ribbon.
It is a good thing I decided to put this vignette together. It ended up winning 1st Place in the Diorama category at Soonercon 2017 as well as winning the award for this year's show theme which was 'Vietnam".
There were so many excellent models that were of Vietnam subjects at the show. I was very impressed and inspired as the show was not the largest that I have been to, but the quality of the models on display were of quite high caliber. I feel honored to have one of my works chosen as for the Vietnam award.
Cheers,
James

How many of these ribbons you need now James? I've lost count which ones.
Congrats on the win! Super!

Thanks.
In regards to the ribbons, the Army, Marine, and USAF ribbons for sure. Would the Viet Cong vignette qualify for the North ribbon since the VC were essentially working towards the same goals as the North Vietnamese?
The others that I will be working towards are the Navy, Australia, and South ribbons.
