Roden does it again!


Recommended Posts

There's just too many great kits being released between next month and a year or so from now for my meager modeling budget to handle... :lol:

Am I wrong in thinking that the L-19 is WWII era and the O-1 is Vietnam? Same airframe, but different markings and ordnance?

If so, presumably this kit will have markings/ weapons for both WWII and Vietnam?

No, both Vietnam. According to Wiki, L-19 Army, O-1 was Marines.

But my wallet screamed out in agony reading this! Must have builds!!

The vast majority of O-1's in Vietnam were Army, and nobody referred to them as an L-19. Didn't even know what an L-19 was. I had a FAC close by from dawn till dusk, and it usually an O-1 but later in 68 we started seeing O-2's out on the border.

The Bird Dog came out after WW2. Could have Korean War markings though.

You know what... for some reason I was getting the L-19 designation mixed up with the L4H Piper Cub from WWII. Brain sorted out now... thanks all.

Wish Roden would scale up their OV-1 Mohawks to 1/32.

Will definitely add a 1/32 O-2 to the stash when available

I have a civil O-2 parked about five minutes north of me, and have now got a link to get up close to it! Plus I've been setting on two Stearman kits (Revell), and they just got the "re-skinned" Stearman back. Was promised a chance for pics last summer, but lost it when they sent it out for the re-skinning. Saw it flying a couple days ago.
