Bronco OV10 ARTF
The OV-10 Bronco is a twin-engine, two-seat aircraft designed in the late 1960s by North American Aviation.
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.
