What are the chances of century doing an air force bird? Id love to see a Colorado ANG A-7D or A-7K but century thus far has only produced navy birds..

All depends on if they made the mold capable of doing a D-model. Looks like it's possible from the early pics, but really can't be sure. I'm pretty sure they copied the Fujimi kit, which is capable of doing all variants---but you never know if they made changes to simplify it for diecast etc.

I'd like the Iowa ANG, first military plane I ever saw. Several camo schemes, especially fond of the green/grey combo which wasn't that common AFAIK---you normally see SEA or two-tone grey on ANG A-7's.

Yeah and there was that short lived and rare two tone dessert scheme. But man I loved all three of the common ones. Espectially the two tone grey and the green grey aka Lizard scheme.

They used to fly alot of them in the PA ANG here in Pittsburgh, I hope they consider making that one as well.

Judging from the pre-pro pictures in the Mule newsletter, I would say yes to the Air Force A-7.

You will notice the aerial refueling port on the back of the A-7. I believe only the Air Force uses that port. Navy uses the refueling probe on the right side of the nose. Interestingly the probe is missing on the pre-pro model.

We had the Stingers out here at the 180th, 112th fighter wing. D model. Had the green scheme with a hornet on the tail, a pretty cool livery model. Yep, have to think they will do the darker green livery somehow, it was iconic for the aircraft. I do like quite a few of the liveries posted in the other thread here, there are plenty to choose from.

Ditto on the hometown bird. A COANG A-7 would be great.

Ed Kao is right on the money on this one! I hope the refueling probe that's supposed to be on the starboard side will be there for the Navy version? Zed or Yoshi...please chime in!

Slap a coat of primer on it, paint and stamp, that's going to look real nice on my shelf.

That's definitely a pre-pro for the Air Force bird, not the Navy one.
