The A-7D Corsair II is a single-seat tactical close air support aircraft that LTV derived from the Navy's A-7 for the US Air Force. It first flew on 5 April 1968, and by the end of production in 1976 the USAF had received 459 aircraft. Power came from an Allison TF41 turbofan, and armament comprised an M61A1 20 mm cannon plus a wide range of external stores. A-7Ds of the 354th Tactical Fighter Wing at Korat in Thailand proved themselves in the closing months of the war in Southeast Asia; from 1973 the type was passed to Air National Guard units.
According to the manufacturer, the Trumpeter kit in 1/32 scale consists of 682 parts on 22 sprues. The photo-etched fret covers the ejection seat and other details, and a clear film is provided for the instrument panel. The decals offer two options: a 354th TFW aircraft coded MB from Korat in 1972 and a 355th TFW aircraft coded DM, supplemented by a sheet of weapon stencils.
The finished model measures 440 mm in length with a 370 mm wingspan according to the manufacturer. The large scale shows off the cockpit, wheel wells and the three-tone SEA camouflage of the Vietnam War era. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
