Spies in the Skies GB 1:72 Academy OV-10A Bronco FAILED

Post by Deacon »

It's been a while since I took this shot and to be honest there hasn't been much progress (damn xbox).

Anyway here is a box lid and extras shot. (Don't worry, I do have the kit bits too :grin: )

I decided it was time I had a go at using resin etc to enhance a build. So here is the CMK interior, flaps and engine. Also Aeroclubs metal seats and undercarrige.

Thanks for looking.

I have one of these to build as well so will be watching, will be interested to see where you shoehorn the required weight into it to stop it being a tail sitter, as there is not much space.

COD 6 is just too good Ben. :grin:

Here is an update.

This first photo shows the three different makes of seat I could have used in the Bronco. As you can see I used the resin seats which came with the resin interior from CMK. Note the Aeroclub metal seats. This is the second type of seat I have had off them which quite frankly are over-scale (they look too tall!!).

Image

Next up is the resin tub. I was disappointed with CMK's instructions for this as there is no indication how it should sit within the fuselage. In the end I made up the kit tub to use as a guide to get the resin one in the right position.

Finally, trying to find space for the lead weight to counter the booms. I had sealed up the engine nacels and the boom so I need to create this hole which will be hidden by the wing sat on top. I really stuffed a lot of lead within the nose cone and this nacel. I couldn't do it to the other nacel as that has got a resin engine attached to it.

Thanks for looking.

Well that's just not acceptable - don't make me come over there and drag you off the Xbox to do modelling!

Ask Monty, he knows.... :ninja: :grin:

Better luck with the next one! :smile:
