trickyrich Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I know, if it wasn't that big (and pricy) I'd get both but the Nam bird will probably be my choice, it'd go with other things I have planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo the Magnificent Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 This is my third Bronco. Different box, same plastic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Good to see that all your Broncos have arrived Enzo, I do like the art work on the box, very appropriate for the GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo the Magnificent Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 Here is the cockpit section fitted into the nacelle. The Bronco is a notorious tail-sitter, so I have packed the area behind the cockpit with window lead strip being carfull to keep it all forward of the undercarriage attachment points. The main wheel is further aft than where the undercarriage leg mounts in the booms, so I'm hoping to give myself a bit of wiggle room there. We'll see... the do it again. and again. As you can see, the sponson assembly doesn't fit well, leaving a big gap. However it is easy to fill. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Proper little Bronco production line you've got going there Enzo. That last pic reminds me of stuff from episode 2 and 3 of Star Wars that the clones flew. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Martin Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 A little off topic ... but has anyone seen a photo of how the gun bays on the OV-10A Bronco open? Was thinking of opening one up to exposed the guns and ammo... PM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At about the 9:45 point there is footage of the sponsons with the upper surface open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bbdave Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I think the bronco was the first model I built I may start looking for a nice 1/48 job see if I can build it with less fingerprints! I'm looking forward to seeing the different schemes. Dave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Enzo, keep taking the pills! I'll keep an eye on this build. Testors did a 1/48th Bronco. A reboot of the mid sixties Hawk original. Not a bad kit. Nice parts fit, but needs added detail. https://www.scalemates.com/topics/topic.php?id=3824 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 The Bronco production line is in full swing. They look like they have gone together without any fuss which is good as the shape of them can make getting to seams quite tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked the bay. We have four coming up this week this side of the pond. Postage to the States would be silly though. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Testors-1-48-Scale-OV-10A-Bronco-Model-Kit/164367319241?hash=item26450e40c9:g:JLUAAOSwiKpfUVoj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo the Magnificent Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 It's been more than a month since I updated this thread. Thankfully there have been some developments. I built a few ejection seats. Then installed them into the cockpits and added the transparancies. The thrasnparencies were pased with a combination of Eduared masks and ordinary masking tape. All were themn primed with my usual grey auto primer from a rattle can. On to the main painting. Here I had to be a bit careful as the Black Ponies aircraft has underwing pylons. I didn't want to go spraying it the wrong colour. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
