1/48 OV-10 Bronco Langley Research Center


Recommended Posts

My intention is to build all 10 Testors OV-10 models I have. This is #2 so far and it's in the colors of NASA 524 at Langley.

I made the decals and the boom, the rest is 100% Testors.

Thank you. I think most modelers are into bombs, rockets and missiles.

I like the civilian side of airpower.

Thank you guys, I know the Testors kit is long in the tooth and not perfect, but neither am I.

I want to build as many as I can before my eyes give out and this kit builds fast. I have a couple ICM kits. I am considering doing those as well.

pookie, Very well done!  Love the NASA livery. Are you also planning a CDF fire plane as well?  K/r, Dutch

Yeah, I did that one first.  I used Draw decals which make the early paint scheme version they don't use any more.  I am building the 4 and 5 bladed versions they have so I drew decals the other day for those as well. That sheet should keep me busy for a while.

It's hard to tell from the pics, but it looks like you added something to fill the empty space that is the rear cockpit.  Can you say what?

I just add plastic strips to the back of the kit's seat to make it a little closer to reality and then I make a duplicate rear seat out of plastic strips as well.  I'll taker a picture of that for the one I am building now and post it when I upload that one.

Really cool Broncos. Great seeing the other work they did. 
I remember seeing one of NASA's Broncos at a Moffett Field airshow, many many years ago. This this was a fond reminder. 

Great job on both!
