ACADEMY PLASTIC HOBBY MODEL KIT 1/72 OV-10A BRONCO

The Rockwell international OV-l0A Bronco was the winner of a competition to provide the U.S. Air Force. the Navy,and the Marine Corps with a Light Armed Reconnaissance Aircraft (LARA). Designed as a counter-insurgency (COIN) plane the OV-10A was first delivered to the Armed Forces in 1969 and saw extensive duty in Vietnam. The Bronco can take off from short airstrips or can be filled with floats or skis for more varied uses. It is fitted to carry a wide variety of weapons but is more often used when equipped with doppler radar or TV reconnaissance apparatus. The Bronco's varied capabilities are even more apparent when considered in terms of its payload, however. A cargo compartment underneath the middle of the wing can hold five paratroops or two stretchers and a medic or more than 3,000 pounds of freight. In 1969, 15 OV-l0A's were fitted with laser rangers, Loran navigation systems, and stabilized
night Sighting systems for nighttime operations.
