Academy 1/72 kit. No pics yet. Only have pieces put together but.....KIT DECALS ARE HORRENDOUS
Ordered a set of AOA decals. Now these are nice. I believe there are 10 choices on markings all in ADC grey with different colors and markings on prop hubs. Still trying to decide which one.
I'm arming it with 2x 2.75" rocket pods and 2x 5" rocket pods. Any idea what color the tips if the rockets would be?
And what can I use to weight the nose. I usually use fishing weights but even my smallest 1/16oz weight is too big

Re: USAF FAC OV-10A
I've been wanting to get a OV-10, what kit is this?

Hmmm.... BBs perhaps?
As far as rocket tips, my guess is Insignia Red. Not 100% certain...

Re: USAF FAC OV-10A
Rocket warheads are OD with a yellow band for HE, or light green with a red or yellow band for smoke or WP. Fuses at the tip of the warhead are bare metal.tempestjohnny wrote:Academy 1/72 kit. No pics yet. Only have pieces put together but.....KIT DECALS ARE HORRENDOUS

The blue ones above are training/inert warheads

Re: USAF FAC OV-10A
Yeah... not a good spot for weights. Does the kit come with a clear sprue rod to hold up the rear? You can always construct one.

Re: USAF FAC OV-10A
Yeah, looks it. I've done the Hasegawa one in 1/72 scale years ago. As you said, not a whole lot of room for weights in the nose. Mine came with a clear sprue rod for the tail wing or boom area.
