Update on the Hasegawa OV-10A: I added some lead wire to the cockpit to replicate the amole wiring harness that is visible in typical Bronco cockpits and repainted everything. I also removed the stub wings and weapons stations since this is a civil fire spotter. I dry-fit the main fuselage to the tail and wing assembly, but will paint these two assemblies separately. Getting there...

Wow! I'm looking at this as I contemplate the MH-53E I just bought. Nice job on the rivets! What tool did you use?

@doupnik, what do you use for references to outline your rivet pattern?

I've used it. It's a fantastic sheet!

Not sure... which would yield a better result?

I got ahold of an Academy MH-53E and would like to try my hand at riveting. My google-fu yielded old threads but with the expected Photobucket issues. Is there a good source for a how-to out there that still has good pics available?

I've always thought the helmets were disproportionately large on the Aerobonus US pilots. They look like characters from Spaceballs. 😁

Nice job! Which kit is this?

I understand motivational lags very well! Way to push through. Keep at it!

One down...

Decals and gloss are done on the OV-10D...I used Wolfpak decals. I'll do some light weathering tomorrow and try to wrap this project soon.

Nice! I'm planning a pair of F-15s for this GB as well, but in 1/48. That F-15SA looks sharp with the bright orange panels.

I've seen pics somewhere of VMA-214 doing CQ in their Ms. I think it was Coral Sea.

It ain't happening. I don't remember the details but this project went off the rails awhile back.
