Another interesting subject from a great modeler. I’m stoked about this.

Re: Cal Fire OV-10A Bronco
This is amazing and awesome to watch. I would love to do one of these too. Isn't there a Bronco kit out there that doesn't have the weapons pylons molded in place? I'll keep following this one.

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

Very cool! I love watching conversions of an original kit.

Re: Cal Fire OV-10A Bronco
I didn't look too hard for another kit - figured this one was waaay less surgery than the S2T. Bit of filling and sanding going on, but getting close to putting primer/paint on her. Tiny bit concerned about posing the multi-part canopy -expect fingerprints 
Thanks,

Re: Cal Fire OV-10A Bronco
Put the gloss white down a bit heavy. And then the red - I hate red/white... worst combo to paint unless you add some yellow. Anyhow - had some good masking and some bad. Wing tips are solid. Vertical stabilizers have bleed and I masked the top at the wrong angle. Yay, something to fix :/ anyhow - fix this then it's gear, decals and canopy so making progress
Thanks,

Re: Cal Fire OV-10A Bronco
That is certainly a challenging combination! Looks good from her, but I know you will nail it down.

I hate spraying white, red and yellow.

Re: Cal Fire OV-10A Bronco
Red an yellow are always hard to paint. Don't think I have ever done a red and white combo. This is looking sweet always liked OV aircraft.
