Anyway… How the new nose looks?
-
hmm looks nice but:
Red is your model outline blue is this blueprint:https://www.the-blueprints.com/blueprints/modernplanes/vought/68914/viewsingle/vought_a-7e_corsair_ii/
Blue blueprint fits like a glove… having some minor issues.
On a quick and dirty look seems the whole model has issues or I compare different models.

True that… Im working on the antennas now to make them smaller. I know what you saying as for the whole model the angle is wrong. That will be fixed when the other issues and details are fixed. Almost when im gonna be in 99% of completion. I did that also in Most of the models i ported. For example the p-3 beside other issues the original gmax file that the author sended me also had this “angle” issue it was 100% aligned with the “ground” witch actually its not true as it haves a slight (5 or more degrees i think) tilt towards the ground from back to front. Everything is under construction and whatever issues i find i try to fix or add or delete etc. Its not the best guide to have my 1/48 one but at least i have something that i can see up close to see whats wrong or not
EDIT : Another issue i spotted is the intake, I think its too round, I think the original is more oval than round
EDIT 2 : Nope as Red dog said most of the scale models are wrong in that section. Heres a picture of the real one. Maybe a little bit more oval like mm wider than round… hmmmmm…

New Seat… Not 100% but its getting there

http://www.delbertsscalemodels.com/images/Aircraft/A7E_Corsair_II/A7E_Corsair_II_02.JPGWell it’s not the angle only. I tried to use many calibration points but couldn’t fit. If I had the whole model it would be better.
I even compared red and blue only.

I will try to see it Arty and see what i can fix
-
If the model is the same as the blueprint I linked it’s easy to check it.

I corected a bit. Still need some scaling and its gonna be ok i think. But are the blueprints 100% Accurate? I dont trust them too much to tell you the truth, And i believe as is its ok its 95% close to the blueprint
and another one non transparent

Good ones i admit! Very good actually! Those are H’s right?
159949 and 159952 are A-7Hs and 160865 is a A-7E (ex-USN). The fresher paint job on the A-7E is a bit of a give away.
As a bonus, here’s probably one of the rarest A-7s I’ve ever photographed:
And okay, while we’re going through the old slide shoebox……:)

New Pylons plus the aim-9 racks, next update will be probably the refuelling probe
-
So here it is Next on the que the spoilers…
-
here is a shot of the usual issues with the intakes in the scale modelling world.
Most of them have it wrong (blueprints can be VERY wrong too) seems a lot of manufacturers built models based on wrong blueprints. Nowadays the best repro technique is 3Dlaser scanning a real jet
left wrong, too flat - right correct, more round -
Yes, that one on the left looks way off!
-
Yes, that one on the left looks way off!
That is a usefull shot Thanks Tazz… yeah the 3d model is more close to that maybe some moving here and there or just let it as is… ill see how easy it can be and i will decide what i ll do!
-
So spoiler are done…. Im up a bit in tris but i think thos details i added as i said before is essential!
-
if you want some details:
they are not only on the top wing. but the same ones are also on the bottom wings but opening is inversed
a nice detail you could plan if you want is the gun vent. left side forward fuselage, just back of the canopy, alongside the left nose gear door
always open on the ground and opens in flight when the gun fire

-
Ok thanks its the one i thought it is

edited my post with a picture Manos
As for the spoilers i hardly have seen them deployed so i wouldn’t know - even pictures of corsair engaging a turn don’t have one the top spoilers open.
to be honest i’m not even sure they are spoilers, they “may” be something related to give more airflow to the wing at low speed to lower the approach speed but i don’t think so either
Maybe it was a feature developed on earlier corsairs and abandoned later on, like the kruger flaps of the tornado, dunno?
they are not part of the airbrake system eitherthey are a mystery to me as well

As far as i know Razbam model in P3d-FSX witch it considered one of the best payware out there for the corsair it haves the upper spoiler normally deployed whent entering turn. to tell u the truth i have to research it a bit more. Probably in Early corsairs might be working as it should but for the -E im not sure either. I will do my research and i will see if i keep them or not. As for the gun vent i definatelly gonna make it…. I wish there was a switch to deploy it also when firing a gun Thing is that with all the missing details i add ( i realise that this 3d model is more close to an -A than a -E) im almost doubled the tri count… But again for me it worth it And also i have the Original backed up so i can make a low poly for BMS team or whatever…
