    1/48 OV-10A Bronco

    got it! much thanks! BTW, from the updated 3d renderings, I'd say, the shape is looking pretty much spot on at this time, the fuselage tail cone is right on the money too

    1/48 OV-10A Bronco

    finally!!!!!!!! wooohoooo!!! just a quick note... I've observed that the cargo bay door cone shape has not really been made correctly by any manufacturer to date... it resembles more of the shape on the clear plexiglass unit of the OV-10B... the original solid unit's shape differs slightly (it is pointier), but noticeably... here's a photo I'll be watching this with interest... I'd also like to see how you guys will do the cockpit... the 1/32 KH kit, while it is the most detailed so far, suffers from inaccuracy issues, in particular with the ejection seat construction, cockpit floo
  3. to anyone who is wondering, sir Alfonso's ISS is available in both 1/144 and 1/100 scales... but both are scaleable to any size one wants to build (provided you have a big enough printer to produce the components at a scale greater than 1/100 (I have a friend who is building it in 1/32 scale (yes, you read it right))... and as for detailing, the model that sir Manfred's friend IS the stock AXM ISS model... when you get* the whole station from sir Alfonso's site, it includes all the details to build the station exactly like in the picture... *some components are available for a small fee, but
  4. I have to say, my reasons are a little bit of what everyone here have said... for the many years I wasn't able to build a decent-sized kit (those life-keeps-getting-in-the-way kind of stuff) I managed to pile up my stash, with almost all kits having multiples of at least 2 (my OV-10s however have increased to almost 40+ (excluding the already piling up 1/48 scale) ) but do I regret it? so far, it's a no... I came from a place where, when I was a kid, I can only drool over the kits I saw, but couldn't afford it... now that I have a job, there's some sort of "I have to redeem myself" kind of fe
  5. Hi there! I'm interested! just the Philippine Air Force portion will do... much thanks!
  6. Hi there! um, is the sheet still up for grabs? Just the Philippine air force portion will do, much thanks!
  7. yup saw it already, thanks much!
  8. for card models, compound curves really is a challenge... I've seen people eliminate those with putty and a lot of sanding, but that will make it a "multimedia" model of sorts... I work on both mediums (paper and plastic), and it helps me a lot when I build either one... (try looking for my SpaceShipOne/White Knight build thread on the in-prog section)
  9. care... I mean, DARE to build one? these guys are card models, if you may ask Bumblebee: by Claudio Dias disguise mode: Starscream: by someone named "Valkyriewars" and finished just recently by my fellow papermodelers.com colleague Julius Perdana Optimus Prime disguise mode: Gallery - http://www.paper-replika.com/index.php?opt...&Itemid=158 (oh BTW, this big boy stands 1 1/2 meters tall when done) get them here Bumblebee - http://paperinside.com/bumblebee/ Optimus Prime - http://www.paper-replika.com/index.php?opt...4&showall=1 Starscream - http://www.thevalky
  10. Hi there sir! Haven't gone here for a while... just click for page 9 & 10 http://www.swannysmodels.com/Instructions/OV10A.html
  11. Wow thanks a bunch! :lol: I want to ask as well what was the overall color that you used in yours... thanks again! this is great help!
  12. Hi to all! been a while already since I last posted... To anyone who have Dragon's 1/200 B-2/F-117 kit lying around... I want to request some scans of the decal placement map... (post or PM will be just fine) I can't find mine here... I seem to lost it after much moving of my stuff from one room to another... and I reall want to get this tiny kit done... many thanks guys
  13. Hi there sir!!! I'm doing the same here!!! I'm making my old man's airplane, and a VMO-2 -D+ steed as well... will watch this!!! keep it up!!!
  14. STS-119 finally flew, and for that, sir Alfonso Moreno released his replica for the mission! you can get it from the website on the first post (just like everything else in his models and references)
  15. aside from the ISS, he will also release the ff in the future: Mir Space Station (1/144 and 1/100 scales) STS Pegasus barge SLC-6 launch site the test orbiter Explorer Soyuz Launch Pad Buran-Energia-Transporter Shuttle Carrier Aircraft He had made extensive research for every single component, and he needs all the help he can get. Please let us support this outstanding project!!!
  16. As of now, not much pre-ISS mission payloads are being designed, because he is focused right now on, you guessed it, the ISS!!! His model of the space station is available at 2 scales, 1/144, and the much bigger 1/100. The Russian modules are still in-progress, because he's currently designing the ITS parts The ISS model will also be payware except for some that's already made as freeware, same cost as a non-ISS mission payload bay file, but unlike the non-ISS files, the payload bay parts include: - the payload bay configuration of the modules/components - the space station configuration
  17. Hey guys, its been years since sir Alfonso's site was established... but now, it has grown more than just an STS card model site!!! All 5 orbiters and some of the test orbiters have been modified to include better details, and the SRB connections were added to improve detail there will be a new, more detailed, and bigger version of the shuttle later... Besides the free orbiter models, ET and SRBs, new free models have been added The Crawler Transporter (both in Apollo and STS configurations) and the MLP (STS configuration, its still missing the SRB hole pipes, but will be added late
  18. Well, I guess all words of praise has been used for this one... But lemme say this sir... Many thanks for taking notice of this very much neglected airplane 4 (or is it 3, or 5?) years ago... Finally, someone did the OV-10 the justice it deserves... BTW, some OT... I've been hearing rumors from our IPMS fellows here that Trumpeter is interested in creating an injection-molded model kit for the airplane (in 1/32 scale BTW), and right now, our IPMS chapter may be involved with the design process and are gathering references for them to work on... I've given them a copy of my walkaround ima
  19. I've looked onto other threads here about the same deal about Bock's Car's nose art... And from the reliable infos here, it says that the nose art was not painted on the aircraft during its August 9 raid. It was only painted after the mission ended. Besides, the original mission target was Kokura, but poor visibility diverted the mission to the secondary target, which is Nagasaki. So if the nose art was present on the mission, then why would they place Nagasaki as the target as indicated on the nose art, when the original destination of Fat Man was Kokura?

    OV-10 Bronco

    Your'e welcome sir!!! The sets were OOP in the past, but after sir Neil restarted his production, the sets were the ones that were put back... sir, you can check out Hannants, they have stocks of both sets currently, he's still working on another OV-10 set, this time its the YOV-10D set, and a complete metal replacement for the landing gear struts and new landing gear wheel wells... he's still not finished though, as the struts are a bit problematic to make... but sir Neil will surely pull this one off in the end

    Yes, the set got all of the necessary parts, including the distinctive fiberglass props... If you want pics of the finished model, take a look in here: http://www.scaleworkshop.com/workshop/ov10thenandnowda_1.htm (Testors OV-10A + Paragon Designs OV-10A set) http://www.scaleworkshop.com/workshop/ov10thenandnowda_2.htm (Testors OV-10A + Paragon Designs OV-10D set)

    OV-10 Bronco

    Jaydar's right... the only thing in 1/48 scale is the testors kit plus sir Neil's Paragon Designs update/conversion set... I have both sets and 2 kits here, and are working on both... I'm using sir Timmy's in-progress shots as one of my main references
