This is the nice small Academy OV-10A Bronco. With the Bronco there is only 1 problem; it is a real tail sitter. And you know what? There is almost no place to put any weight. I stuffed up the nose with lead and put a big plate under the cockpit. After finishing the model it was still sitting on its tail. So when I installed the engines I put a lot of weight in there and it finally helped. While building the model I used mostly Humbrol paints. Click on images below to see larger images The
aircraft I made is form the 20th TASS/504th TASG of the
USAF, it was stationed at Danang in 1969. The
aircraft is armed with its usual 4 guns and next to that 2 rocket pods and 3 GP
bombs. For more pictures of this and other models you can go to my site; http://spunkmodels.dwaal.net/ Björn
