That's a sweet looking OH-13! Thumbs Up [tup] All the little "extras" really make it come alive, thank you for showing it!

Take care, Smile [:)]

Nice work. It looks a fiddly thing to build. Good job. Does that tail come in individual pieces or does it come in one section?

Looking good, well done. I particularly like the fact that it appears the canopy needed no masking??

I considered scratchbuilding a tail boom out of Evergreen plastic tubing, but I couldn't be bothered , so I detailed the kit a bit instead. I added some wires to the cockpit, scratchbuilt a little headset (with my newly-acquired Waldron punches - don't know how I've done without those for so many years!), added a distibutor and wires to the spark plugs, added control wires in the tail boom, a new air intake duct from a bit of wire insulation, stretched sprue antennas, fuel tank lids and retaining wires, and I drilled out the gun barrels and added photoetched ammo belts. Pity it all doesn't show up in my rather cruddy pics, but hey, I tried Big Smile [:D]
