The OV-10 Bronco is a twin-engine, two-seat aircraft designed in the late 1960s by North American Aviation, to fulfill a requirement
for three branches of the U.S. military (the Air Force, Marines and Navy, usually referred to as the tri-service requirement.) The
design is unconventional, with twin booms, a very large greenhouse canopy, small sponsons for armament, and a cargo area in the center
fuselage pod. The original purpose of this airplane was to serve as a Forward Air Control aircraft, although it has been used for
a large variety of other roles. Sponsons are the small "stub wings" mounted underneath the main wings. The sponsons serve two purposes.
First, they provide a streamlined housing for the four 7.62mm M60C machine guns, two per side. The second function is to provide a
place to hang other armament off of externally, from two racks per sponson.
Utilising a detailed fibreglass fuselage and cowl together with SolarTex covered wings and tailplane parts, the final finish is sprayed
matt camouflage ready for any scale detailing and weathering you wish to add, the Tex covering lending itself to extra detail. We
also offer an all white SolarTex version for people to colour as they wish (this versions is available to order).
Our newly designed retracts and Oleos are a vast improvement over the old units. These units will be the standard optional fitment
for all of our 120 size Warbirds and Twins (oleos sold separately).
Features:Top quality fiberglass molded fuselage and cowling; Laser cut construction; Balsa built-up wings, aileron, flaps and finished
with a premium Solar Tex covering.
Due to our Warbirds having an accurate outline they will, depending on engine choice, may need additional nose weight to balance. This is unlike other brands who extend the nose to get around this problem.
