USAF FAC OV-10A

April 1, 2021 through 12/31/2021 - Anything from the Vietnam Era, aircraft, helos, trucks, boats, tanks, artillery, figures, dioramas....if it walks, crawls, rolls, rattles, flies, hovers or goes "boom", it is in. Any scale.

I shoved a sinker in the wheel well - clearly not scale :)

Nice to see one of these in progress. Like Kevin, I added a sinker in the wheel well, along with some BB's in the nose in mine.

Yeah, Academy decals really suck! I've had issues with Hasegawa ones sometimes too.

Never, EVER use Academy decals. Don't ask me how I know.

Damn small the plane. The tools at your workplace should be of a suitable scale.

Looks close to painting now
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall
