ziggyfoos Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Oh I have no idea. I've never dealt with any of them (or Aires) directly. I only mentioned them since those were the only two other companies I could think of offhand that do modern cockpits in 1/32. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Oh I have no idea. I've never dealt with any of them (or Aires) directly. Me either. I think we obviously have a better "in" with AMS considering the owner of the company is one of us, but I know it would be some amount of work, so I wasnt sure who would be good candidates either as I have never had contact with either of those companies as well. I personally think this would be a HUGE seller..........................As I mentioned, the OOB cockpit is not bad, but its not 100% accurate nor super detailed. I just think that unlike some models, any and ALL work put into an AM pit for the OV-10s, would be able to have every corner shown off with all that glazing. I can dream.

By the time I got finished with a set, all the kits will be built or the modelers moved on to a new kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I am tinkering with the wing tanks right now. I found one that has two different tail cone configurations. This one is from the BLU-27 napalm tank, AND this one is from a BLU-1 napalm tank. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I did a little work on the wing tanks in between pouring resin. I have the main body and the nose looking ok so far. The tail cone and the fins are next. The separate cone is going to be used for the tail section, cut about in half and the longer cone for the fins will be added.

Out2gtcha Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) Really great news Harold........... Those tanks look awesome!!!! On a second front, NOT so great news..............................I just got a response back from Eduard: Petra Šolcová (Eduard Support) Mar 20, 11:52 Dear Mr. Leitch, I am afraid, the last info from our production manager says that we do not plan to produce a cocpit for this kit at the moment. I am sorry for bad news. Have a nice weekend. Petra Solcova Well @#*%!!!!!! Looks like NO ONE is going to tackle a cockpit for this thing. That is indeed a shame, as I think the KH OV-10s would have been a TOTAL showcase for a good resin manufacturer. I can understand the amount of work it would be, especially for a smaller company like Harold's, but I would have though at least 1 of the major companies would do it. Im quite bummed, myself. Im not a huge scratch builder, but do have the capability I think.............I just know it would never be as good as something that a professional could put out, which just makes me down. Crap.

What a shame. I know I could do it, but I can't pour resin and work on one of these. If ​I had someone doing the grunt work, I could considerate on making masters.
