1/48 OV-10D+ Bronco, US Attack Aircraft
ICM 1/48 OV-10D+ Bronco is a plastic kit of the extensively upgraded US Marine Corps light attack and observation aircraft. Five marking options. Paints and glue required for assembly are not included.
The OV-10D+ was a deeply modernised version of the OV-10A. Its key new feature was a night vision system with a rotating camera under an extended nose; decoy dispensers were fitted in the tail booms, and the engines, avionics, communications, airframe and cockpit equipment were also revised. The aircraft could observe and designate targets while keeping the ability to strike ground targets with rockets and bombs. During Operation Desert Storm in 1991 the US Marine Corps used it to direct strike aircraft.
The kit has 247 parts and the finished model measures 280 × 255 mm. Decals cover five aircraft of Marine observation squadrons: 155473 and 155494 of VMO-2 in Saudi Arabia (1991), 155489 of VMO-1 aboard USS Theodore Roosevelt (1990), plus 155494 of VMO-2 and 155499 of VMO-1 from the early 1990s.
The unusual twin-boom layout and glazed cockpit make a rewarding subject for a modern propeller aircraft collection or a Gulf War diorama. Paints and glue required for assembly are not included.
Nationality: USA. Period: Cold War, Present day.
