I’ve been working on this model since last month even though I bought it at a great hobby store in Redmond, WA in 1999! I couldn’t believe it when I found the sales slip in the box that I had had it for so many years! Anyway, as I said in my previous articles I needed something to do while we were hunkered down for the next few months.
So little by little I began to paint individual parts in preparation for assembly. Fellow Mohawker Bob Coveney wrote a note asking me to provide some closeups if possible, so take a look at the driver and observer in the cockpit before I got the windshield attached.
I’ve got two other models that I have never put together, so I looked at one that I had not examined previously. Looking at the end of the box I was very surprised to find a sticker that read…
I must of asked someone in the Company sometime in 1968, ’69 or ’70 to get me this OV-1B the next time they were in Pleiku. I was only in Pleiku one time at the ground station, but I don’t remember getting this Hasegawa model. I’m going to keep it in its original box and not put it together.
Anyway, now to find another airplane to put together…maybe a C-130.
