What can I say? I'm a pro!

I just received a call from a local store that two new CW A-7s have arrived. I asked to reserve for me until the weekend but now I am a little puzzled as I thought the second version will not be available so early. Will give a call later to clarify.

These pics should give some idea of how big the A-7s will be. The A-7, in these pics, is a 1/72 Italeri kit I built a few years ago.

I'm sure they meant 2 of the VA-82

We want pics!....We want pics!

BTW, if anything disastrous happens today would you please warn the rest of us who aren't there yet?....thanks

so if something happens in ur today, does that mean it happened in my yesterday and hence shouldn't worry about it if i didn't worry about it yesterday??

The salesperson is right. I just got the two A-7. I was surprised to see both available at the same time. btw, are those sidewinder missiles coz the fins look different from those of F-14s.

Wow Awesome!!
The white ones in the weapons section pack are HARMs. The Sidewinders are attached to the pylons on the fuselage.

[David Hingtgen]

Actually, they're Shrikes. HARMs wouldn't exist until the 80's. HARM and Shrike do look similar, and share the same purpose. ARM----->Shrike----->HARM. The ALARM is too close to really be a 'replacement' for HARM, more like an alternative that's SLIGHTLY newer.

PS--hey, it looks much more orange there. More pics of the orange please!

Andrew--are the Sidewinders and/or their pylons removable?
