Hi Roger,
A brilliant build, and very explanatory in every respect.
It is a great job, well done. I look forward to seeing it in the flesh.

It is also, nice to see how you overcome problems and challenges.
Cheers,
Bigkev

Very enjoyable to read and see.  I have nowhere near your amount of patience and skill so I'll make do with oggling this when it comes to the club meeting.

[Roger]

Thanks for the feedback chaps. Hopefully it will be on the table on the 8th, fingers crossed at the moment I am working in Yorkshire that day!!
Next project well underway - I'll start a new thread tomorrow.
Once again, thanks for the encouragement.

Apologies for restarting this old thread, but my niece took some nice photos for me today (i.e. taken with a proper camera, not my phone!), and I have also included one from RIAT 2017 taken on Friday.

Blimey, you had me worried Roger.  I thought your thread was going to be about some disaster with the Bronco - and knowing how much love and work you put into it THAT would have been painful reading.

Great pictures - could have been taken for a "walk around" book of the real thing!

[Kiteman]

Simply stunning.

[Bigkev]

Sorry to nit pick Roger.............

But that third cable from the right should be brown............

ONLY JOKING!!

A brilliant model from the Modelling Hanger of Roger S. , Once again!

Now what about OV-10D? in 1/32

Thanks Guys, you're making me blush!!

When I asked Tony De Bruyn if I could have my photo taken in the cockpit of his airworthy Bronco I never thought he would say yes.  It was quite a challenge to climb up there in heavy kevlar lined motorcycle jeans and bike boots, and unlike the cockpits at Cosford a few weeks ago I had to be careful not to move any switches - this thing was live and ready to go!!  Great experience though, highlight of my weekend, and I got a few reference photos so may have to have another go at this excellent kit in the future.

Hi Roger,
Just to let you know, that your Bronco was photographed and appeared in Model airplane this month, with a suitable admiring caption.
Cheers,
