About The A-7E Corsair II
Developed in the 1960s to replace the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk and the piston-powered A-1 Skyraider, the A-7 Corsair II evolved from the Vought F-8 Crusader airframe. Hallmarks include a large frontal air intake beneath the cockpit, 35° foldable swept wings for efficient carrier storage, and a modern head-up display to enhance mission effectiveness. With multiple underwing hardpoints, the A-7 could carry an extensive load of conventional bombs, Paveway guided bombs, and air-to-surface missiles. The A-7E variant added improved capabilities, including the ability to employ Harpoon anti-ship and AGM-88 HARM anti-radiation missiles.

ORIGINALS MOULDS FROM ESCI - SUPER DECALS SHEET FOR 4 VERSIONS
The LTV A-7 Corsair II was designed and implemented in the first half of the 1960s to satisfy the specific United States Navy request to have a new carrier-capable light attack aircraft able to replace the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk and the piston-powered Douglas A-1 Skyraider. It was directly developed by the fighter Vought F-8 Crusade airframe. The A-7 was characterised by the large frontal air intake under tha cabin, by the 35° foldable swept wing to optimize the use and the storage on the aircraft carriers flight decks and by the adoption of a modern Head-up-Display to enhance the operational effectiveness. Thanks to its underwing hardpoints the A-7 was able to carry an impressive offensive load based on conventional bombs, guided bombs as the Paveway and air-to-surface missiles. The A-7E was the last version produced for the U.S Navy with an improved operational capabilities and the possibility to use the Harpoon anti-ship missiles and the AGM-88 HARM anti-radiation missiles
