Romad601 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) I'll be building one of the O-2's I flew as an FAO in over Laos in the spring of '68 (FAO, not pilot). Glad they got the equipment rack in back more or less correct, spent bit of time on those. I'll be substituting an M-2 carbine for one of the the AR-15's, though.

I wasn't really interested in the O-2 till I saw this; simply gorgeous! Just added the Portuguese O-2 on my "to do" Is there a decal set available? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long since given up trying to understand folks.... I can't find the thread but I believe Quinta Studios are collaborating with ICM so beautiful cockpit lovliness may be along soon.
