North American OV-10A Bronco N524NA NASA
This is the objective
The boom for atmospheric research must be removable, of course
Cockpit (Weekend Edition 🙂 It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it. Thanks a lot Paragon, you turn the Testers kit into a Bronco!
First check, if it is on the way to become a Bronco. Far less than 50% of the parts will come from the original kit in the end...
Rework the metal gear
Done
The proof, it will not be a tail-sitter!
Removed the orange skin on the 'clear' parts and masked
Front part of the canopy was too wide ...
Now I am confident, that the Bronco will finish some day 😉
First (home made) decals applied
Right hand boom is decorated
Right hand side of the fuselage looks ok so far.
To be honest, i had planned the roll-out tonight...
...and then I noticed, a simple mind GLUED THE WHEELS IN PLACE!
However, I'm glad she is finished and looks decent, a kind of similar to the original, in spite of all inaccuracies and faults.
Not the final photo setup, I hope, better pix will follow 🙂
And this is the place for her in the display cabinet.
