1:100 Vought A-7D Corsair
Vought's A-7 is one of the world's most cost/effective and capable attack aircraft ever flown. Although derived from Vought's legendary F-8 Crusader, the A-7 is a completely different aircraft. Limiting speed to below Mach 1 and eliminating other features of the F-8 dramatically reduced structural weight and cost, allowing the A-7 to carry three times the Crusader's weapon load and deliver it extremely efficiently and with unprecedented accuracy. The A-7 has seen service in numerous conflicts and performed very well in the attack role - in US service in Vietnam it achieved one of the lowest aircraft loss rates. Today A-7s are still in service with two countries.

Printing Destructions:
IMPORTANT: DO NOT ALLOW PROGRAMS LIKE WINDOWS NATIVE 3D BUILDER TO REPAIR THE MODEL OR YOU WILL GET ERRORS THAT MAY OR MAY NOT ALLOW THE MODEL TO PRINT CORRECTLY
I have not broken this model up at all and it will fit on the old school Elegoo Mars printers just fine if you print it vertically. I prefer to print these on my Peopoly so not only can I print them in 1 piece I can print 12 at a time.
Aside from that, on printers like Elegoo Mars and Anycubic Photon, if you rotate the model 90 degrees with the end down, just add your supports and print away. The weapons are modeled onto the aircraft and once I get my camera situation sorted out I'll post pics, prints just fine
For resin I prefer to use Siraya Tech Simple Clear mixed with Tenacious. I use 75-80 Simple to 20-25% Tenacious. This has not given me any problems since I started this mix and the only time I get failures now is when I am experimenting with things or forget to do my supports right.
