A-7E CORSAIR II
COLORS INSTRUCTIONS SHEET - 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.
