TXCajun Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Yet again, you knock one out of the park, my friend! Nice work! I do have a question: What is the story behind the first gray profile you threw up there - the one with the 1st Cav Division patch on the nose? Is there a tie with 1st Cav?

Thanks - I hope anyone who likes the OV-10A will find something interesting on the sheet. 19th TASS (based at Quan Loi) was tasked with supporting the 3rd Brigade of 1st Cavalry; and some of their aircraft carried the 1st Cav badge on their nose (or tail) at different times. The subject of that profile is one of those - I thought it was an interesting addition to the standard gray scheme. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gonzalo Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) KursadA, Can you tell us who is releasing the Bronco in 1/48 and if it is a new tool or a Testors reissue? I haven't seen or heard of anyone making a 1/48 scale.....that news is very exciting! Edited November 18, 2014 by gonzalo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't seen or heard of anyone making a 1/48 scale.....that news is very exciting! I don't know any more than anyone else does - I was told that at least two companies were considering a 1/48 OV-10A kit and had started working on it. I heard about this well after I started working on my decal sheet. Please don't read too much into the release of this sheet: I just thought there was a lack of decent OV-10 sheets in the market and wanted to do a new one, in part to prepare for the release of Kitty Hawk's 1/32 kit. That's all there is to it - the sheet is not targeted for a specific kit, and has no shape-dependent elements so it will work on any dimensionally accurate OV-10 kit. You can either use it on your Testors OV-10A now, or keep it for the time that future OV-10A is actually released. Edited November 18, 2014 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 The OV-10A sheet is here and is available for preorder now. I will start shipping these on January 5. I am very happy with how this sheet turned out (photos later) - it is a limited edition with only 300 printed. CD48068 - 1/48 OV-10A Bronco Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't seen or heard of anyone making a 1/48 scale.....that news is very exciting! The last I heard was a company called Avaiton Art company. See if you can get in touch with Zactoman. I asked this question a while back and this is the answer I got. HTH, Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 Well, this was unexpected. 25% of the print run was gone in a day or so. Hopefully things will level off and I will not have to enter the New Year regretting yet another limited run ;-) A 1/32 OV-10A sheet with selections from these options will be ready soon after the Kitty Hawk OV-10A hits the market; and a 1/72 version will certainly appear sometime later in 2015.

Kagemusha Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Very nice work, looking forward to the 1/32 sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GEH737 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I got my order in - apparently others have also seen the crazy prices the old Cutting Edge sheet goes for on eBay... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
