Yeah pretty happy with it. My pictures don't do it justice at all lol. I am now waiting for last part in the mail for it witch is the rear cargo bay area of the aircraft.

Awesome job, I'll start my OV-10 in a couple of weeks. My dad was a flying cert NCO who checked out in OV-10s and a backseat observer on missions where he took pictures and looked for downed pilots. He said the OV-10 was crazy underpowered and as someone who was not a pilot he wanted to push the throttles forward as far as they could go trying to get away of ground fire.

He was happy to see a couple of Broncos get re-serviced in the middle east early circa 2006 but was hoping the maintainers could squeeze as much horsepower they could

The d version of the plane was used in Afghanistan and Iraq. It has a bigger more powerfull engine and the propellers were also enlarged to increase power, speed so on.

In the D version they also added thermal day sights so on to modernize and make it compatible with smarter weapons and targeting so to say
