Eduard 49487 A-7A/B Avionics 1/48 Hobby Boss – photo-etched detail set for aircraft model kits

Eduard 49487 A-7A/B Avionics is a high-quality photo-etched parts set designed specifically for 1/48 scale models produced by Hobby Boss. The product is dedicated to the American attack aircraft A-7A Corsair II and A-7B Corsair II, machines introduced into service by the United States Navy (US Navy) from the second half of the 1960s, i.e., during the Cold War era. These aircraft took an active part, among others, in operations during the Vietnam War, where they played an important role in fire support and strike missions.

The parts offered by Eduard are made from the highest quality, precisely etched brass sheet, perfectly reproducing avionics details, instrument panels, cockpit side consoles, and other key interior elements. The set matches the Hobby Boss plastic model, allowing for increased realism and historical accuracy of the A-7A/B Corsair II aircraft model, emphasizing the characteristic onboard electronic combat equipment.
