Hasegawa OV10. U.S.NAVY

Thought I’d post up one of my recent builds seeing as I have just came back after a long absence. It’s the Haswgawa OV10 Bronco. Built OOB except for the decals which came from the excellent Mike Grant UAMF sheet. Paint is a mix of Xtracrylic and citadel minatures (for the white). and a couple of white metal bang seats I found in the stash.

Oh and the sidewinders came from the Hasegawa weapons set.

All the best.

Nice job on the Bronco, brush painted?

Yep, done with the old hairy stick. I haven’t managed to sort my hobby room out yet so no spray painting for me for a while. Cheers for the cudos.

All the best.

Greg

Beautiful brush work!

Toshi

Many thanks for the kind words guys.

All the best.

Now thats a scheme you dont see everyday. Nice!

Great build. interesting scheme. I like it

Cheers for the kind words guys. The build was done for a Group build elsewhere. Here’s a link to the build thread on the UAMF. http://uamf.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=342&t=13470

All the best.

That is really stunning work on the Bronco, Greg. Must say, I’m quite impressed with your skill with the brush. I like it very much. Thank You for sharing your build with us.

Cheers Joe. Much appreciated. I do admit that red took quite a few coats to get right. So did the white. (about 5 thin coats) The Mike Grant decals were superb but very thin (I broke one - my fault not the decals) I’m looking forward to doing more from the sheet.

Outstanding brush work…

Cheers Lawdog. I don’t know why but I get more satisfaction from brush painting than airbrush. Maybe because I was a spray painter for a living and it’s like taking work home?.

All the best.

Looks great Greg, nice and colourful :slight_smile:

Cheers Mike. It’s your excellent decals that really make it though. Awesome scheme.

All the best.

Greg

Oh wow, that’s sharp! I wish I could brush-paint a tenth that well.

Cheers loads for the praise folks. Much appreciated. I admit this isn’t bad at all by my standards (I consider myself avarage at best) and close up there are a few nigglies that I wish were better. The worst part of the build though was even though I left the canopy off for a few days after superglueing the bang seats in it still still fogged up the canopy, It didn’t happen right away either but it was there the next day - a nice surprise for when I got home from work NOT - I had a choice, bounce the thing off the nearest wall or prize apart the now well stuck canopy. I did the latter and fortunatly for me it worked. (see pics) I removed the fogging with a damp q-tip

All the best.
