Designed to kill, converted to save.
Cal Fire North American Rockwell OV-10A Bronco

Scale:
1:72
Status:
In progress
Started:
October 24, 2023

The California Fire Department uses quite a few Broncos as spotter and lead planes to detect fires and guide the water bombers to the spot. So my Bronco will be one of them.
Cal Fire operates OV-10A and D and did some modifications to them. Some have 3-blade props, some 4, some 5-blade ones. Antenna configuration seems to be very variable too. The main modification for the kit will be the omission of the weapon sponsoons.
I will go for an earlier version of an OV-10A with a 3-blade prop.

And the seven antennae of the belly. The pitot tube from Master was installed too. Now I gotta handle that bird with care.
