russ c Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Hi Everyone, Just finished the missing Mohawk from my collection, so I thought I`d share some pic`s Rodens 1/48 OV-1B Mohawk with the SLAR Completed in the markings of the 131st Aviation Company, U.S. Army, Phu Bai, Vietnam, 1967 Built almost completely OOB With just seat belts, aerial wires added and a few bits of wire here and there. Decals are the kits and I still had a bit of silvering to paint round Hope you enjoy, thanks for looking Cheers Russ 46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russ c Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 Another beautiful model!!! Congrats! This must be quite a big plane in 1/48. I really enjoy it! JR Cheers Jean, Glad you like it. It`s about the same size as a Skyraider, so not too big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ c Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 Nice work Russ, did you make the revetments from scratch? Rod Thanks Rod, The revetments came from a couple of Vietnam Backdrops by Noys Minatures. Unfortunately they`re a bit too small for anything larger than a Bearcat or a Skyraider at a push, so I chopped the revetments off and stuck them on some plastic sheet to use separately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Excellent build and finish Russ,a very interesting aircraft I know I built one in 1/72 scale many years ago I can only think Hasegawa as my LMS used to stock the range. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaddad Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Tasty model, tasty presentation, tasty photos, Tasty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich G Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Really nice build, the tonal variation in the paint scheme really makes it pop with realism given the age of the kit. I also love any Nam era aircraft, and you don't see well made mohawks everyday! Rich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxidad Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 That's a gorgeous build. I rarely build post WW2 a/c, but I have one of these in my stash 'cos it just looks so interesting. Can't wait to build it; doubt it'll look as good as yours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Outstanding ! Very nicely done Rgds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angels49 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 That is one very very fine build, don't laugh lads, but this one and the A-6 remind me of "Mothra" of Godzilla fame...especially this one with the way the front fuselage is designed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
