discussion Papa 695s Academy 1/72 OV-10D Bronco

[papa 695]

Having finished the Mustang, I thought I’d start this one. I got it cheap at the Newark show.

And I’ve got a few extra little goodies for it

Hi Ian, look very interesting haven't seen one of these before and you say a few extras I would say that's a lot of extras:smiling5:, at least you got details this time not silly stickers.
Good luck with the build sir.

I always liked the OV-10, but I’ve not built a model of one so far. It’ll be interesting to see what you make of it.

Ian,
Chair pulled up looking forward to something different.

It looks a nice kit Jakko, with some nice external detail, but not much inside. But the extras should sort that out.

Made a start on this.

Great start Ian , the resin bits look lovely . Academy can sometimes be a bit sparse on the cockpit area cant they ? The exterior details are usually good though and they dont give any trouble in the fit dept , cheers tony

I’ve finally got the cockpit done. Boy is it tiny.

Office came out excellent. PaulE

Ian,
The office looks very good.

Looking good.

Always liked the look of the Bronco - but the only 1/48 model available is ancient, so watching this will suffice! :thumb2:

Looking nice. All that 1:72 PE, good luck with that little lot.

Nice cockpit ian, going to look good under the huge canopy, cheers tony

 

[papa 695]

Got the cargo bay done, the wings and booms.

 

[papa 695]

Got the wings put on and cut the bottom armaments off ready for the resin ones.

 

[papa 695]

Starting to look a lot better now the gaps are filled in.

Hi Ian
Missed the start of this - sorry. Not the prettiest of planes. Plenty of fine looking extras to improve the kit. Cockpit is nice but as you say it's tiny. Looks as if you are marrying together the kit and the resin extras well.

It’s been a while, and with Barry doing a great job on his 1/32 scale Bronco. I thought I’d get this one moving again.
