Zactoman Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) I'm happy to announce that the kit will include markings created by AOA Decals: (Edit: The HazMAT website is not up yet. I'll announce when it is!) With that out of the way I'd like to extend a big "Thank you" to those who helped us with our research and references in creating this kit. That includes Steve at AOA (ziggyfoos), Dave Fasset (Bulldog09), Erin Kewin (Timmy!), Jim Rotramel (mrvark), " Vandy 1 vx4 ", The OV-10 Bronco Association, The Fort Worth Aviation Museum staff, Bill at Blackpony.org and everybody that's ever posted anything online about the Bronco including Hans who helped with some details late in the game. I hope you will all be pleased with the results. Edited May 6, 2017 by Zactoman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm very glad to be of assistance Chris! now all I need to do is to save up for a fleet of these Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Heck, I'd just be happy if they took all this hard work and made an accurate D model, but if they did all that, a G+ wouldn't be too much of a stretch!

Craig Baldwin Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I like the frequent updates and feedback I see. I am a bit worried of what the panel lines and rivet detail will look like on the finished plastic. Some of the pock marked kits from manufacturers in recent year yearn for the days of simple finely scribed lines. My one concern is that the Bronco's main landing gear legs rendered in plastic may be a bit weak if done to scale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bushpounder Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Please leave us some room up front for some lead, OR include a lead piece for the cockpit so she isn't a tail sitter. There's a lot of tail and plane in back of those mains. Can't wait for this one!!! Looking good!!! Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For this boxing we are just including stuff for the OV-10A that covers the Vietnam markings included. Future releases of other variants and options will depend on how well this kit does.

My one concern is that the Bronco's main landing gear legs rendered in plastic may be a bit weak if done to scale. I'm very anxious to see the plastic myself. If the tooling ends up as good as I think it will, we will have a great kit on our hands. As for the gear, we wanted it to be detailed, accurate and to scale. Again, I'm anxious to get my hands on plastic and hoping it will be OK. 21 hours ago, Bushpounder said: Please leave us some room up front for some lead, OR include a lead piece for the cockpit so she isn't a tail sitter.

skyhawk174 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Wow those weapon pods sure look amazing. Like I said my Testors kit is now in the never to be built pile once this one gets released.

Sabre Freak Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Outstanding job on a subject desired by a lot of modelers and sadly overlooked by manufacturers. The CAD looks magnificent so far! I am curious. The list is probably a mile long of subjects desired by modelers and sadly overlooked by manufacturers. What motivated you guys to say OV-10! Let's do The OV-10! i ask because sometimes the motivation can be as interesting a story as the endeavor itself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's a CAD image, the grey is just plastic representation. Everything is grey (props, tires, ordnance, etc) except some brass color showing photo etch in the cockpit. It's not meant to show a scheme.
