Hi everyone, just finished the last of my Roden 1/48 Mohawks

Done as an aircraft of 131st AVN Company, Vietnam, 1969

Built OOB apart from a few bits of wire and card

and a bucket of lead shot to keep the nose down

still didn`t quite manage to avoid decal silvering, but best result yet...

putting them straight down onto microsol and hitting with hair dryer.

Thought I`d also show the rest of the collection so far; all Roden 1/48, first the OV-1A

adding a bit of colour with the `Hi Vis` markings

Hope you enjoy looking at,

All Mohawked out, Cheers Russ

very beautiful bird. one of my favorite topics.

but never try Roden kits before. so how is the fitting of this kits?

i am interested in Roden's T 28 new, gloster gladiator and this one. :)

Thanks Guaggua`, the fit isn`t too bad, not much filler if you`re careful. BUT the canopy is not very good and always gives me grief and Roden decals aren`t the best.

That's stunning Russ. How do you knock them out so fast as they certainly don't look rushed ?

Cheers Woody, I don`t think I`m that fast as I started it at the end of June, but I tend to have 3 kits on the go at any time as I often paint and work myself into corners.

Very nice models of an aircraft that proves that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I always thought the OV1 was a beautiful aircraft but my some of my friends failed to see the attraction. OV10 & OV1's are both favorites of mine.
