This new decal sheet from Cutting Edge Modelworks includes markings for 3 different A-7 Corsair II's in SEA camo schemes. 

The first aircraft is a A-7D Corsair II flown by Lt. Riggs, 388 TFW, 3rd TFS out of Korat RTAFB, Thailand.  The paint scheme is Brown FS 3479, Green FS 34102, Tan FS 30219 on top and Grey FS 36622 on the underside.  There is a Sharks mouth on the sides of the nose jet intake.

The second aircraft is a A-7D Corsair II flown by Capt. Don Cornell, 354 TFW, out of Korat RTAFB, Thailand in December 1972.  The paint scheme is Brown FS 3479, Green FS 34102, Tan FS 30219 on top and Grey FS 36622 on the underside.  There is a Sharks mouth on the sides of the nose jet intake.

The third aircraft is a  A-7D Corsair II with the Colorado ANG, 140 TFW, 120 TFS and winner of the TAC Gunsmoke competition in 1981.  The paint scheme is Brown FS 3479, Green FS 34102, Tan FS 30219 on top and Grey FS 36622 on the underside.  

The instructions are clear and include colour drawings to assist in decal placement and painting the camo patterns.   There is also 1 page of text including information about all of the aircraft.

A very nice decal sheet and will be helpful for anyone building one of these classic American fighter jets.

I would like to thank Cutting Edge Modelworks for providing me with this review sample.
