4 -bladed OV-10G+


Recommended Posts

OV-10 has been brought back into service in various roles from manned over watch aircraft for SOF forces to Blue_Air JTAC training aircraft. Does anyone make the four bladed upgrade to the OV-10G+

Not that I am aware of. There are a number of other users that have upgraded as well, but you will probably have to scratch build the new props and spinner.

I believe the OV-10G has the same props as a Metroliner and MU-2.  I know the engines are the same.  If you can find kits of either, maybe you can cannibalize the props from one to the other.  Just a thought.

Hi All,

 

I too am looking into the four-bladed Hartzel props for my Philippine Air Force OV-10 project and have discussed this with Hoops earlier.  Maybe the Mu-2 props might be easier than my trying my hand at carving out the spinner shapes and adding blades.

 

IF I do make a set, I'll try to get somebody to produce them in resin for the -10G kits also.

On another forum I was reading a build thread for the Special Hobby 1/72 CASA 212.  That led me to search other build / review articles.

 

The CASA 212 uses the same Garrett engines as the OV-10.  The Special Hobby kit includes TWO sets of props - narrow cord (metal) and broad cord (composite).

 

If you can reach out to someone that has the kit and is willing to give up one set of props, problem solved!
