Chris D Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I'll be perfectly honest, I'm really looking forward to this one. I fully expect that I'm going to shove everything else off the bench and build up one of the VAL-4 birds soon after the kit hits the market. Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ziggyfoos Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 VAL-4 will be well covered. The existing AOAdecals Black Pony sheet will finally be coming in 1/48. May add even more options to the sheet actually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chukw Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I've only just seen this- very interesting, Z-Man! Congrats on stepping up to full kit design- cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

May add even more options to the sheet actually. Would there be any possibility of you including decals for the legacy of the Black Ponies aircraft? Both the A-29 Super Tucano evaluated under Imminent Fury and the OV-10G Bronco of Combat Dragon II from the US Navy carried the Black Pony markings. The A-29 at least could be built in 1/48 with the Hobby Boss kit, and the A-29 mods from AVM. Nobody has done any decals for them, and I don't think we'd ever see separate decals for either of those aircraft types. I know it's a long shot, but it never hurts to ask.

Glad you found the thread and hope to see you build one when it's released (looking forward to that threads "mascot!" ) I'm just a part of the team contributing where I can. I have been helping more with shapes and details where others are doing the CAD work. We've also had lots of reference and detail help from fellow ARC members and the Bronco community. I was hoping for a reply on my Facebook question thread in General Discussion so I could post to Facebook at the same time, but don't want to delay the Arc viewers any longer...

Floyd S. Werner, Jr. Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 This is looking really nice. I personally can't wait. I have the Testor's one and ALL the stuff to go with it, except the motivation. This is something different. Floyd Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ikar Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Waiting on this one, we had them at Korat. If I remember right there was a small tube that stuck out slightly from the point of the tail cone. Any idea what this was for? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any idea what this was for? This is the cargo door hold open latch. I'm not positive, but I think it latches on to this ring: I say I'm not positive because I haven't found any pics showing it attached to the ring, but this is in the right location for the latch to engage and I see no other spot for it to latch to. The same ring can be found on the right side boom though so I'm not sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ReccePhreak Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I guess I will have to start saving up, so I can get one to do in Royal Thai Air Force markings. I already have the RTAF decals for it. Larry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ikar Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Deffinately have to save up. This one is not going to be cheap by the looks of it. The OV-10 was the second type of aircraft my wife could have beem assigned to work on, the 130 was what she got. Have to do one for the 23rd T.A.S.S. at Korat in honor of the guys I saw there.

Youngtiger1 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Wow, look at all this detail and it's going to be all out of the box kit 😯 Totally cool Chris 👌 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Youngtiger1 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Ps: if the HazMat decide to up scale this in 1/32 then it will blow the Kitty Hawk kit out of the water. So...hint hint 😜 Edited March 26, 2017 by Youngtiger1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
