Kitty Hawk Models has announced the second of their 1/32nd scale releases; The OV-10 Bronco. These are preliminary CAD images. They have asked for feedback to tweak them prior to cutting molds. Here are some updated images which one can compare to the originals below:
Below are the original CAD images posted.
Some details which will be incorporated into the model:
Hope they also do the 4 bladed version OV-10G+!
CAD design of kit looks fantastic. However, I recommend that the kit be designed with optional parts to build either an OV-10A or OV-10D.
Currently active and former OV-units all over the world are waiting for this release! I’m a former OV-10 mechanic who spent many years with this bird. Contact the “OV-10 Bronco assciation for techncal help and for pre-production “Beta” build volunteers. Not only are they experts on the prototye, a lot of us have exerience in engineering and technical writing and illustrations…
Hope the plastic is of a better grade; the pieces fit better; instructions are accurate; and the colour call-outs are complete and in the right place. KH’s 1/48 Sepecat Jaguar (French version) was disappointing in all these aspects. Despite the expense (not cheap), I threw the kit away…
This kit has to be a winner… given that its a very unique aircraft, and poorly represented as a kit..I considered the Testor’s kit with a resin cockpit…but that kit is so outdated
As an ex-weapons mechanic who spent many hours working on the ov-10 would like adding several of these to my ceiling.
This is kit is more than welcome. I always wanted this subject but the old Testors 1/48 is way outdated. Thanks a lot for sharing Sául.
