No way!

Loved the O-2 since seeing BAT-21 when I was first getting into modeling. Only a few months ago I finally tracked down an old Airfix example.
With this release I might just put that to one side.

Can't wait to see some sprue shots.

Outstanding!- it was nice Roden released the Bird Dog a few months ago, but this is a whole new generation of OV craft-- can't wait to see how this one looks. I suspect it'll have all the normal Roden bugaboos-- but I can usually put up with those-- this is one I'll have to get!

I like the "Don't Shoot" decal.

Hmmm... I'm looking at that solid decal for the entire instrument panel-- I hope Roden has a little more detail in there than a flat panel for 1/32 scale. let's hope this is just a test shot. Decals included for "THE FAC" as well.

my 2 cents worth: - Did not know even what this aircraft was until I saw the movie "Always". This looks like a great model but I will say given it's roll in Vietnam and similarities to the uses of the Piper Bird Dog in WWII this aircraft would have been a good candidate for offering in 1/35th scale!

My humble opinion - worth what you paid for it!
