Cal Fire Bronco
Posted by Don Stauffer on Monday, April 20, 2020 2:16 PM

the inspiration for this model was a thread by Keavdog in the Aircraft forum, with the same plane, the Academy 1:72 OV-10, with Draw Decals.  I saw that and just had to build one too.  I added a few extra cockpit details and a few more antennas.

This is the first model I have shot on my new portable photo bench (I like to take model pictures in sunlight.  The new bench is shown in a thread in the Model Photography forum, down in the Tools, Techniques and Reference Materials section.

Turned out nice Don.  The antennas add a lot.  I may retrofit my bronco.  It is a striking livery.  Your photo board is very nice.  Great idea.

Thanks,

John

I regret I missed this on the first go-round, Don. It's gorgeous!

Nothing quite like photographing models in natural light.
