Re: Vintage Revell 1/72 OV-10A Bronco
I remember doing this one as a mere youth. Not a bad kit if memory serves, and you've made a splendid build there.

Thank you everyone for the kind words.uavdb wrote:Beautifully done model. I have the Revell OV-10B, which is the same kit with German decals. I think most of us older modelers really enjoy building these "vintage" kits. There's just something more enjoyable about them that beats sawing resin parts and dealing with vac canopies. I just started a Matchbox Westland Lysander and an ancient Lindberg Henschel 129....oh those old kits are worth their weight in gold....not really, but close to it.
Older kits like this one have a certain charm in my view. They are rather simplistic and easy to build, especially when compared to today's more complex and highly detailed kits. As I get older, I find myself wishing for simpler times and kits that are less complex. This is why I like to mix in a few of these older kits into my building schedule. They bring me back to a time in my life that seems much less hectic and stressful than today.

Re: Vintage Revell 1/72 OV-10A Bronco
A really nice job there, Pmmaker.
I built the Airfix version in Marines colour scheme a while back, but I'm afraid it hasn't made it onto the forum as I'm so disappointed with the decals (they've silvered terribly and seem to be very over-sized). I hope to sort that out soon.
But you've done a great job and I agree with you about the older kits
