1/72 OV-10A Bronco, US Attack Aircraft
ICM 1/72 OV-10A Bronco is a plastic kit of the American light attack and observation aircraft of the Vietnam War. New tooling, 261 parts and underwing stores. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
In 1963 the United States launched a competition for an aircraft suited to limited conflicts: it had to strike ground targets, provide close air support and carry out forward observation and target marking. In August 1964 the North American design won and was designated OV-10A, named Bronco. Combat evaluation in Vietnam began in the summer of 1968.
The Bronco could operate from unprepared airstrips and turn around quickly, which set it apart from jet combat aircraft. According to the manufacturer, the ICM kit in 1/72 scale is an all-new tooling with 261 parts. It includes underwing stores – bombs, unguided rockets and incendiary tanks.
Decals cover four Vietnam-era aircraft: VMO-2 at Marble Mountain (1969), two VAL-4 "Black Ponies" machines at Binh Thuy (1969 and 1972) and a 20th TASS aircraft at Da Nang (1972). The model measures about 177 × 170 mm. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
