REAL TO REPLICA RED SERIES 9
Vought A-7 Corsair
by Andy Evans

The Vought A-7 Corsair was the ultimate ‘bomb-truck’, capable of packing a huge punch into a small airframe. Affectionately known as the ‘SLUF’ (Short Little Ugly Fella in polite parlance) the A-7 was developed as a successor to the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk carrier-based strike fighter and entered service with the United States Navy during the Vietnam War. The A-7 started life as an attack derivative of the Vought F-8 Crusader, with a shortened fuselage, two Colt Mark 12 20mm cannons, the same style tricycle undercarriage, and an under-cockpit intake. As the ‘Real to Replica’ title suggests there is also a section on how to model the A-7 Corsair in popular scales, making this book an ideal source for both the enthusiast and scale modeller alike.
