When the box arrived ( a BIG box) it wasn't the scale of the parts I enjoyed so much as the sheer number of them. And the ordnance! It comprises a pair of fuel tanks, 2 GBU-8, 2 GBU-10, 2 AGM-6, 12 Mk 82 retarded, 12 MK 82 slicks, 6 M117 and a pair of side winders. Oh yes, and a FLIR pod. Here's a photo of the entire haul in case I missed anything.
It's gone very well so far. I've spent around ten hours to achieve what you see here. The painting process is about to begin. Of course, there'll be more photos of this through to its conclusion.

I worked (AMS3) on A-7's at the Navel Air Test Center Weapons Systems Test Division. One of the pictures around had fully loaded wing stations and fuselage stations with a caption about 19,000 lbs of weapons. Compared to F-8 it was a breeze to work on.
