I’m not in a position to check at this moment, but while the A-7H may not have had this, didn’t the ex-USN A-7Es come with all the carrier features attached? I can’t recall if the catapult stuff had been removed from the nose gear prior to delivery to the HAF?
Yes both H and E at greek air force had them removed. My question its for the game if it works with a switch or a dof

The “signature” Airbrake is done
I realised something; I though the outer parts opened into the slipstream not against it
That airbrake must be efficient !! -
Not sure if im getting it but i saw this picture and i mde it this way
-
no you made it right, I had a false idea and seeing yours corrected it

@Red:

Yeah i also had i slight doubt when i saw Hasegawa’s Instruction sheet for their 1/48 witch i bulded twice… And its wrong it has the flaps opened and on their halfway meet with the slipstream. Yet its not confirmid 100% that they open this way or the way i did it the photo i just posted might be when deploying the airbrake and not when that is on full deployment, i mean during the movement…
-
Ah yes I do remember adding that brake on a 1:48 model I did many years ago. Doesn’t it completely disappear into the fuselage?

Actually is part of the fuselage. I can say it one of th biggest and complicated airbrakes i ever seen. Maybe the f-15’s might be bigger but maybe not i think they have the same length. But it is complicated in A-7 And rare to see over the internet in photos and i mean clear at least. The clearer i found was the one i posted. L.T.V. had made a good job making this plane! All the systems it had on the era it was made was extraordinary!

That’s an A-7D though loved those Guard Corsairs back in the day!
Are there any major external differences between the USAF/ANG D models and the USN/HAF E/H models?
If not then we could also use this fantastic model for an A-7D and incorporate Guard Corsairs in any 80s and early 90s campaigns?Can’t wait to see this thing drop a boat load of Mk82s in game!!!

Greek -E didnt had any difference with US Navy’s ones exept the catapult thingy and i think the Landing light. -H had some differences they didnt had the refueling probe and some systems wasnt in them, -D on the other side had some external (i believe internal as well) differences the rfueling probe also gone and they had a refueling door on the left upper fuselage behind the canopy and they had an IR (i believe correct me if im wrong) pod just under the intake. Those two for the D are easy to make and for H is easy also i will just delete stuff Oh and H and D had the old Escapac ejection seat as far as i remember. I dont know if in D they ever changed it…

That’s right, A-7H was pretty close to E navy’s model except the inflight refueling capability she didn’t have and an electricaly started gas turbine engine starter (taken from the D version)
D on the other side had some external (i believe internal as well) differences the rfueling probe also gone and they had a refueling door on the left upper fuselage behind the canopy
Yes, except for the 16 first A-7D that always had the refueling probe.
and they had an IR (i believe correct me if im wrong) pod just under the intake.
That was the TISL (target indicator system laser)

Thanks SEG i said for the H that they didnt had the refuel probe therefore Greece got another 63(i think) Aircrafts directly from the US Navy that was unchanged E besides the catapult connector in the front gear, by the way i loved their paintscheme when arrived its classic sea camo but it goes way lower than H it seems if u see the plane from the side like a wrap around but unfortunatelly later they painted them with the same camo as H
-
I agree this camo is the best for HAF E ever ….(like a wrap around )

So u finished the mission,returned to base everything cool i guess…. wait… there is a problem… how the heck you will get out of the plane??? Manos has the solution heheheh… When opening the canopy you got the steps open the ladder door open and the ladder coming down cheers
EDIT: Now i have a nightmare to overcome once again [emoji14] THE FREAKING LANDING GEAR…. its always a nightmare to rig them… i believe the most difficult part of all…

Very good model Manos!
That’s really great you could have got Razbam permission to make this!
Their model was really great, they made a great job on FSX.
Do you expect to use their cockpit to make something flyable in BMS?
They also made a nice geeek texture!

Ahem. Its Iris model not Razbams. I used razbams to tell the truth as reference to add details. Many parts are made 100% by me. Thats why the tri count went too much as for Phantom i made. And if u look both models Iris a7 and Razbams are very simmilar i believ some how razbam took the Iris model and upgraded it to what we see in FSX/p3d. Even the arrangement of the textures is very simmilar.

Oh?
I didn’t knew Iris made a A-7… Just found it on their website.
Sorry for mistake,

No problem. It was free model nowadays anyway. And i got from them the license to edit-port it to bms by the way. To the devs of bms… i made an experiment today and managed to get it in 35400 tris and without many losses in the outcome
