The A-7 had entered production in late 1943 and featured two 13mm MG131 machine guns and strengthened landing gear. However, the A-7 was soon to be eclipsed by the superior A-8 model, meaning that only eighty were ever manufactured. The prototype A-7 ‚ÄòDoppelreiter‚Äô, as it was known, boasted 270-liter ‚Äúslipper‚Äù fuel tanks, one mounted on each wing‚Äôs upper surface.
