Harold55 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Have to say this is a very welcome kit from a company that I think will get it right. Very excited and will definately add one to my list of buys for 2020. I will go for a Vietnam FAC but could be swayed by something flown by the Air America. (Sorry Honey about the creaping expansion of my stash) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flarpen Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 How big is the difference between the O-2A and the Cessna F337G Super Skymaster? I would like to build one of these: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiskey Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Glad I didn't buy a resin update set for the old testors kit I've got laying around. Now I can get rid of that and get a "real" upgrade! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ziggyfoos Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Great news, and already more than one boxing planned from the start. I was expecting Roden to get it done in 1/48 after their release of the 1/32 kit, similar to what they did with the O-1. Will be curious what ICM plans are for the left side window for the O-2A; original small window only (like Roden) and/or later enlarged window option? I really hope it's the small if they do only one but having that second window option opens up even more OOB options for markings. The AOA decals 1/32 sheet for Vietnam O-2s will be redone for this 1/48 kit with at least one scheme swapped out for another. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the vertical tail joints were reinforced. Also wingtips, entry door, prop spinner comes to mind.

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Excellent even has the M16’s on the one sprue. I was hoping they would include some personal weapons for the pilot. Now I can build the plane from BAT-21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEXANTOMCAT Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 You can only build an 0-2 to this (and yes it is about a FAC 0-2 and is rather wonderful) I wonder if theyll do a civvy 337? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
