Italeri 1/48 A-7E Corsair II Model Kit

The LTV A-7E Corsair II was the definitive light attack aircraft of the US Navy from the late 1960s through the 1991 Gulf War, where it flew its final combat missions. Based on the F-8 Crusader airframe but optimized for subsonic attack rather than dogfighting, the A-7E featured the TF41 turbofan engine (a Rolls-Royce Spey derivative), FLIR targeting, and a sophisticated weapons delivery computer that made it exceptionally accurate. This 1/48 Italeri kit captures the stubby attack jet with detailed intakes, weapons pylons, and US Navy carrier markings.
