OV-10 Bronco back in the fight.

Just the one I did a few years ago. It's starting to look a bit dated to me though.

Any good paper models out there of a Marine one?

if you follow my links in post #18 you will find two great Marine birds from Zarkov Models, and one from Murph's Models

As an interesting side note,

I wear a POW/MIA bracelet, have so for many years.
My current bracelet is of a Marine Corps Captain, Larry F Potts.
He was/is the only officer, and one of 4 Marines who came from Delaware who are still missing in action from the Vietnam War.

Captain Potts, at that time a 1LT, was an observer on an Air Force OV-10A Bronco.
Which unfortunately was shot down by a SAM missile

I won't go into specifics, if you want to read his story, please visit this link

Looks like it. There was once an older Cessna 337 or O-2 here but the Bronco took it's place.

And another side note, there was a Bronco at Willow Run Michigan that was being used by an aviation school for study. It had an interesting life before arriving there, having been used by NASA as a platform for various studies such as "drum flaps" and special engines. It was also the subject of several articles in aviaton magazines.

After the school closed, it was acquired by the Yankee Air Force, and was a restoration project, led by man named Dick Rice. He put 9 years into this reborn airplane! I personally loaned him a collection of plans, articles, publications by North American Aircraft, and books (it was forever my goal to build a RC model - not met).

The "new OV10A", in Marine colors, was ready to roll out (not flyable at that point) in October of 2004. But, before just before that took place, another event changed everything...all was lost. See photo. Jim B

Nice work! May I add these pictures to the official page of the model?

Hello Andrey,

yes, you may add it. I'm pleased that you appreciate my model. The canopy "glass" was produced by a friend.

That's a really good model.
