And you were expecting a Beaufighter. In this case, Whispering Death is the name given by the Viet Cong to the Grumman OV-1 Mohawk. Feared for its ability to see in the dark, useful weapons load and ability to loiter over the battlefield for long periods, there was a bounty of 150,000 piestras on offer to any gunner bringing a Mohawk down. This one comes courtesy of Roden and has been finding its way onto my workbench for about three years now for a good ten minutes at a time.
In all that time, I have managed about half a cockpit. Although it might look pretty complete here, the instrument panel consists of 20 or so pieces
First hurdle then is the instrument panel. Then finding somewhere to stuff sufficient noseweight to stop it from tailsitting. The Roden decals should be entertaining too.
