    1/24th OV-10D+ Bronco

    in In-Progress Pics

    Posted · Edited by Hans

    Hans,

    I'm just going to do one engine opened up. I'm try to have a "two sided" model where the right side is opened up with the canopy and engine compartment and the left side is "clean." So when you look at the left side you will see the true shape of the airframe and the then you can look at the right side and see the details.

    Sorry if that is not what you wanted to hear.

    BTW the forward boom parts have been vacuum formed, but I still need to actually fit the booms to the wing before I add those parts. Once I have the wing installed on the fuselage and painted I'll move on to the booms.

    Timmy!

    Oh don't apologize sir!!! I think its a great idea!!! Showing 2 configs in 1 model!!! Neat!!!

    Um, It may sound "annoying" to you now, but can I ask, do you plan to publish your -D+ plans here in ARC? I'm now planning to do a 1/32 scale version, and the trouble is, I'm starting to run into some pitfalls, before even getting started... It looks like the flight manual & the walkaround pics I have is still not enough, especially in the fuse' and the engines... :banana:

    Nice one sir!!! Keep it coming!!!

    P.S. We all saw that the forward portions of the taill booms are still not there... So does this mean that all of the engines will be build? Or just one of them, like you've said earlier? (to have both engines would be a nice thing IMHO)...

    Till then sir!!! Keep us posted!!!

    If my memory serves me correct, the observer's cockpit was deleted on the OV-10B, and so are the sponsons, but the rear fuselage door was replaced with a clear glass version where the target tug operator does its job

    The ejection seat of the Pilot is just like any other OV-10, but the target tug operator sits on a much simpler seat...

    The side panels of the Front cockpit is the same (I Think) on other OV-10s

    This is the site owned by my good friend, Mr. Alfonso X. Moreno

    His goal is to provide us Shuttle modelers the opportunity to build EACH & EVERY shuttle mission since the first flight of Columbia.

    And for that he provides, first of course, the 5 operational orbiters, and all of their configurations (external) that NASA has made since 1981, second, are the ET & SRBs with details that are specific to a particular shuttle mission, and third, and possibly the most valuable, is the cargo bay & payload. He will design ALL of the payloads & cargo bay configs that were flown, including the 4 DoD Classified missions (based on recent unclassified info)

    Oh, and all are for FREE (except for the cargo bay & payload, in which, you have to pay, but for a very affordable price, in order to keep his site running and for the cost of the test builds, but some of them would be free, about 10 of them)

    The site is still under construction, but 10 models are already online.

    Please take some time to visit, and I'm sure it will prove to be a valuable reference site for your builds.

    For me, this is my number 1 STS reference site

    ROKAF OV-10 Bronco

    Maybe ROKAF only leased these 24 OV-10s from either the USAF or USMC...

    I've never seen any official records of ROKAF having OV-10s at all... even the OV-10 Bronco Association doesn't have any records on that...

    Still, I won't close myself on this... an OV-10 on korean markings... that would be nice...

    Thanks Hans - I appreciate the support!

    The wingtips were built up with sheet plastic and bondo, in the same way I did the underside and nose of the fuselage. (The are actually done - pictures soon).

    Timmy!

    Oh I see!!! :D

    This model should be in FSM!!! Its time that (hopefully) model manufacturers give a second look for this airplane, and make a decent kit for it!!! ;)

    And as for model contest, I'm betting for this as a show stealer!!! :huh: :yahoo:

    Great pics Hans. The Bronco is definitely an interesting a/c. I bought the Testors model however, I from what I can tell, it only has a single seat for the cockpit detail ??

    Sadly, that's all there is...

    You may want to get sir Neil's (the Paragon Designs) OV-10A Upgrade set or the OV-10D Conversion set, with those, the kit turns to a gem :blink:
