    Big(ger) scale OV-10

    in Props

    Posted · Edited by Hans

    Can't believe a top tier company hasn't manufactured a 1/48 or 1/32 injection kit yet. Obviously lack of demand.

    IMHO, I believe its not the lack of demand, since bronco fans are everywhere... it maybe due to the OV-10's looks... maybe it doesn't look cool enough for them... (arrrg!!! :cheers: )

    But guys, I'll try to talk to our members at IPMS Phils. We already have close affiliations to Tamiya and Trumpeter, and I can suggest to request these two model manufacturers for a kit of the OV-10 (at least in 1/48 scale)... OV-10s here in the Philippines are usually available for model subject research, especially for our club, since many of our folks either have family members in the Air Force (myself included, my dad's a former OV-10 driver there), close affiliations to squadrons (our club made all of the scale models for the Phil. AF museum), or the members themselves are Military servicemen

    BTW, this card model will be followed by the OV-10D in the future, aparently, the model designer is just recoloring the original kit and designing the replacement parts

    how about this for an idea?

    To me, a gunship is just not a gunship without a gatling gun of some kind. Which is why the H-models have been an empty shell of their former selves for several years.

    I like that sir... hehe!!! :D

    But yeah, a gunship without a gatling gun just looks plain wrong... :cheers:

    speaking of the u-boat, I'm still not done with mine... its really taking a long time to build, specially the insides...

    .50 cal and 20 mm weapons won't fit on the holes of the sponsons, it is only intended for the M60s

    however, they can mount the 50 cals on the sponsons, but in a different config, and only one gun at a time for each sponson, as for the 20 mm, I believe they carry it in pods...

    Thanks Hans. Yes there will be switches, electrical connector, safe receptacles and ripple switches; plus rivets and raised panels. Like I said a little ways to go yet until they are 100%

    Timmy!

    Now we're talking!!! :D

    Keep up the great work sir!!!

    Merry Christmas!

    Great Job on the stores sir!!!

    hey that reminds me... Phil. AF OV-10s will be having wing fuel tanks soon...

    Great Job on the LAUs!!! I also need to make a couple of sets, since my pop's OV-10 usually slung these underneath, most of the time empty

    Another thing, are you planning to add the ripple selection switches on the rocket pods?

    Right on the money!!! :)

    BTW, for the landing gear, um, sir, can you show us where the pieces should fall into place when you finally install this on the aircraft?

    I'm also going to scratchbuild the landing gears for the academy kit...

    thanks!!!

    keep it up!!!

    I'd say go with this!!!

    BTW, about sir Alfonso's site...

    His files are constantly updating whenever new information is added...

    plus, with his card model line depicting every single shuttle mission since STS-1 (orbiter, stack config, cargo bay layout, payload, everything) and is gonna grow until the last shuttle mission, it would be a valuable reference... Plus, he's currently on the drawing board for the Mobile Launch Platform plus the Crawler...

    and at the end of this year, he's going to release his 1/144 scale card model of the ISS, with the modules constantly added until the final assembly flight (I'm planning an FSM article regarding his designs)
