One of the features I would want replicated on the Flightline Bronco is the “bulged” canopy. I don’t know how they would do that, as vacuforms won’t allow compound curves like that. What say you MRC???

No announcement yet.
When will Flightline make a North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco?

Maybe homemade vacuforms can't do it but a piece of cake for any competent/capable plastic thermoforming industrial operation.
Here's a couple examples from CDS in Cali:
Warbird Charlie
HSD Skyraider FlightLine OV-10 FMS 1400: P-40B, P-51, F4U, F6F, T-28, P-40E, Pitts, 1700 F4U & F7F, FOX glider Freewing A-6, T-33, P-51 Dynam ME-262, Waco TF Giant P-47; ESM F7F-3 LX PBJ-1 EFL CZ T-28, C-150, 1500 P-51 & FW-190

Mad Baron, where was that photo taken? I’ll add myself to the list of people wanting this plane. Just take the power system from the Tigercat. Would like the slim nosed version D+. And while you’re at it, how about another larger Mosquito? It would appease the European market by producing something non American and its an awesome airplane.every model produced was either huge or tiny and made of beer cooler foam/fragile. I know FW made a smaller one but I missed the bandwagon on that one. Maybe a 1700mm sized one like the OV10 you’re getting ready to release!
Now, back to the OV10 fan club commercial.

Cool:And for the record, I would be plaeased as punch when this thing hits the drawing board, make it an ARF, sheet covering with .5 oz glass cloth, including retracts, servos, and optional decal pkg!
If you’re gonna do it, I know it will get done right - OV-10 would want it that way!
