Okay, I don't know a lot about the real service record of this bird and all it's nuts and bolts. But, it's called a Corsair and thus I have to have at least
one! Plus, it's simply a beautifully made model. I'm not quite as jazzed about it as I was with CW's F-14 and A-6 -- I think because the panel lines on
this one are a bit too heavy for my tastes. However, again, it's very well made with an excellent fit/finish -- nothing really for me to grouse about!
If you like the A-7, you owe it to yourself to have one of the CW Corsairs in your Hangar. Period. Good luck if you want this particular livery
though -- it's a limited run of 1,000 worldwide and is pretty much sold out at retail unless you get lucky!
