A-7 Paint kit and repaints...

[ZsoltB]

Zsolt, awesome as always, but I dont think the blue on the US insignia is dark enough? Mebbe its just the photoshop.

And with all this top quality repainting for the A-7, I think I am going to go in and start deleting some from my FSX down to just what I fly...and that might include some of my own repaints!!!

Yes, as if the old system roundel Star vivid would have been more

Amazing updates Zsolt!

Yes, I agree with Eric that the VA-147 national insignia looks too bright/light ...



... but in every other respect - looks awesome!

And the VA-83 ... stuff of dreams.

Between you, Eric, and Duckie, we've been incredibly blessed. Thanks so much!

ps - and Russ Smith - your VA-37 Bulls is one of my favourite TPS/low vis schemes - haven't forgotten about your earlier work! Bruce, RobH, and Merida - all have done superb paints for this family of planes. I might have missed another repainter in there - sorry if I did - but thanks to all!

Splendidly done, Zsolt.

Duckie - looking forward to the E Argonauts ... it's looking very, very good. I particularly like how the black glareshield trim is - on most of the hi-vis schemes, there a funny bit of black/white area right between the top of the radome and the front of the windscreen that is a bit off-putting. Going to black resolves it quite nicely. Well done!

Thanks DL. Almost done with this Argonaut.

Just Uploaded.




BTW - Does anyone know if either of these VA-195 birds have been painted and freely available to the public? I know the Hi-Viz CAG bird is has been done.

Looks awesome Duckie - can't wait to get that E Argo.

I've not seen the TPS VA-195 anywhere - am 99% sure it's not been done. That funky "shadowed" area underneath the wings and horizontal stabilisers was (as I understand) not very common. Would be a very worthy choice of scheme. If a bit ratty/grimy, like the one in your screenshot, then even better!

Yes the CAG bird was well done previously, but I have not seen either a high or low viz fleet bird done of VA-195. Would make a nice compliment to the CAG paint IMHO.

Thanks guys. Then these two will be my next projects.

Hi Steve, I happened to find BOTH of these in the SOH library already. Warhawk1130 did these in 2012 I believe. Might not be that exact lo Viz, but one close to it. The high viz fleet bird, he did already exactly.

[Duckie]

Thanks Eric. I've never had any luck with the search engine here and now that the search by submitter doesn't work any more I really cant find anything, even just by scrolling!

Edit: OK. I figured out how to do a basic search again. Anyway, I'm too far along to quit now. We'll just have more Dambusters!

Steve,

I apologize for not finding the TPS paint (I looked again and I still can't find it) - but assuming it indeed was done, I apologize for stating I was quite sure it hadn't been done. I honestly had no knowledge of it. Looking forward to it, nevertheless, for sure!

Zsolt - great paint. The PMTC schemes are really smart, interesting alternatives to the mainstream schemes. The PMTC F-4s and F-14s looked great in it, and the A-7 is no different. Well done.

Thanks to you both.
