Glen Coleman has sent us shots of a test shot of Kitty Hawk's forthcoming OV-10A Bronco fully-built and painted. This classic Vietnam-era version joins the company's existing second-generation OV-10D in an extended series of largescale Broncos.

Thanks!

Oh dear oh dear, my wallets going to kill me

I really like the D variant but now an A variant with Navy markings, that's it I hate Kittyhawk. It's as though they can read my mind and bring out what I like.

Impressive to say the least. I do like the cleaner looks and lines of the OV-10A variant better. Even I would consider building it. Joel

Looking forward to someone reviewing this one.

Hi again

Conformation today from Glen that this beauty will be out in June along with a glimpse of the striking boxtop artwork:



All the best

Rowan,
I think that I just may take a crack at building the Bronco. I do like the lines of a the A, and the model isn't all that big.

I just received this kit straight from Japan, and I must say it's impressive. I haven't built a scale model in many years, but I just had to have this kit. I flew OV-10A's out of Sembach and Patrick in the early '80's, and I plan to build it in a standard configuration for one of those bases.

For the Sembach birds I'll need an unfinned 230 gallon drop tank. I'd like to put 4x LAU-68 launchers on it, but the kit only comes with 2. The downside of the Sembach configuration is that we never carried the guns.

For the Patrick configuration I can forgo the drop tank, install 2 rocket launchers, two guns in one sponson, and one practice bomb rack with practice bombs (not in the kit).

Either way I've got to wait for a weapons pack or look for something compatible.
