Album info

Got an OV-10D Bronco from Desert Storm here. VMO-2 flew this particular one. Paragon's conversion set made this model possible, but we are still in desperate need of a real 1/48 OV-10.

I added illumination rockets and WP warheads to the rocket pods. The three rocket pods was the typical loadout for VMO-2 along with a single AIM-9 Sidewinder. VMO-2 did not carry the M60's in the stub wings, so their omission is deliberate on my part. I still need to find a suitable 230gal tank for the centerline, and somewhere I have an ALQ-144 IR Jammer to go onto the top of the fuselage, but I hid them from myself during one move or another.

The Cutting Edge decals had an extra "5" on the tail number, which was easy enough to cut off since they were still sized correctly. And I stole the warning triangles for the headrests from an Afterburner A-6 set.
