In part one, we look at the build ahead and look at converting the Reskit OV-10A resin cockpit into the newer OV-10D type.
0:00 First up, we start on the cockpit and remove some of the details to make way for the color phot-etch. 17:37 Next, we remove the ejector pins for the kit's fuselage and test fit. 20:37 Now we move into the spray booth and paint the cockpit with FS36231 Dark Gull Grey. 24:53 Here we move back to the bench and hand paint all the details with AK markers and then install the Eduard color Photo-etch. 34:35 Last up, we use PVA glue to install the instrument panel.
0:00 To start, we make an oil wash with ABT005 Smoke and enamel thinners. This is brushed over the whole model, including the color PE. 7:15 Next up we glue and fix the main wing together, and then put together the gun packs that attach to the fuselage's large sides. 22:13 with the oil wash dry, we now drybrush the whole cockpit area with a light grey to add more weathering and highlight details.
0:00 To start, we work on the engines and the wheel wells. Then install them to the tail booms. 6:34 Next up, we add a brass rod to the main wing to make a wingspar. This will straighten and fix the three-part main wing. 16:26 With the wing-spar fixed in place, fix the wings together and the top engine cowlings. Then we glue together the main fuselage. 28:02 Last up, we fit the ill-fitting engine cowls and close them up for un-flight.
0:00 First, we build up the tail booms and install the gear doors. And the sand in the filler used around the engine covers. 13:16 Next, it's time to fit the booms to the wings, and this isn't a great fit, so with some sanding and cutting, we get them to fit. 24:55 Last up, we test fit it all together and then add the nose and the gun pods to the main fuselage.
