Hobby Boss 87201 A-7A Corsair II (1:72) is a high-quality plastic model kit designed for military aviation enthusiasts and aircraft model collectors in 1:72 scale. This model perfectly replicates one of the most recognizable carrier-based strike aircraft of the United States Navy, which played a significant role in armed conflicts during the Cold War era.

The A-7A Corsair II was designed by Ling-Temco-Vought as a successor to the aging A-4 Skyhawk aircraft. Its first flight took place in 1965, and soon after, the aircraft entered service with the US Navy. It is an aircraft intended for close air support missions for ground forces, as well as for attacking ground targets from aircraft carriers.

The A-7A Corsair II was widely used by the United States Navy, as well as by the US Air Force and the Hellenic Air Force in Greece. It took part in, among others, combat during the Vietnam War and the Cyprus crisis, earning recognition for its high bombing accuracy and operational reliability. The aircraft’s period of greatest combat activity was from 1967–1980 (the Cold War).
