Thanks, Spiros, John and Stephen. I have some materials (shown below) to get this done. Your recent build, Spiros, was a big inspiration to pull this kit from the stash. Your version will be a hard act to follow, but I have some ideas. I will start by trying to super-detail the cockpit. The resin and photo-etch I have will probably be enough, but I am not yet sure about the resin ejection seats, I may build these up myself from the kit seat to make painting easier (as with the DH Venom I am finishing up now).
Here are the bits and pieces I have on hand.
The True Details pit is pretty complete but I like to use etch for the IP at least, so I have both. Whatever is left over for both sets I will use for my OV1B/C, which I plan to do up as the MiG killer OV-1C of the 173rd AVC Company (low-vis markings), discussed on this site awhile back. Here is the other Grygorenko boxart for that.
It is another beautiful image of a dawn flight, lacking the specifics of place in the OV-1A boxart. As for the marking in this OV-1A build, I will use the Caracal decal sheet to do Option 2 of the 73rd AVN Company in High Vis markings.
It's great that Caracal provides the wing walk decals, as these are the weakest part of the Roden kit.
