THEODOROS ORINOS
TAKES HIS 1:48 HAF TA-7C CORSAIR
TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL

It was 2013 and I was finishing an RF-84F in 1:48 scale, which was
a ‘kitbash’ of the Fonderie Miniatures RF-84F and Kinetic F-84F
kits with the addition of resin and photo-etched parts and a lot of
scratchbuilt details. I have been an active modeller since the early
90’s, I always build 1:48 planes and I always like to improve or add
details in any part of the plane that is visible when the plane is
landed, like cockpit, wheel wells or maybe a gun bay, but I had
never done anything more than that (maybe once in a Mil Mi-24
Hind…). Well things were about to change...
I read an article in a modelling magazine about A-7 Corsair II. This
article contained some very detailed photos taken by a well-known
Greek photographer, Ioannis Lekkas. However the photos in the
magazine were quite small, so not really very helpful for a
modeller. So I did something that I had never done before, I
contacted Ioannis although I did not know him personally and
asked him for some help. And I was really very pleasantly
surprised from his very positive response. So that was it. I had the
material and I started a modelling journey that would last almost 7
years.
You will understand why soon…
