russ c Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 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 next is my previous OV-1C with the shark teeth and flare dispensers at the wing root and finally my previous effort the JOV-1A that you may remember seeing Hope you enjoy looking at, All Mohawked out, Cheers Russ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.

patjb Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
