I've begun working on the OV-1 Mohawk now in an effort to enhance the textures in the same way I did the OV-10. I couldn't find a paint kit. . . .did Tim ever release one for the OV-1? Anyway, I was unable to locate one and the only reason I wanted to see it was to get an idea of rivet placement but I can "wing" that easily enough. Anyway. . . .more to come as I get to a point to show anything. Glad everyone is enjoying the updated OV-10.:salute:
 
Ed,you probaly know this already, there's a Mohawk over at Cavanaugh Air Museum. We had the pleasure of visiting the place back in July. If you live in the area, you might use their's as a template for your paint kit.

Great to hear it, the Mohawk is a cool plane. I use Tim's Mitsubishi T-2 and F-1 a fair amount, they're both awesome flyers with hot performance. I'm hoping you'll find time to redo the VC textures in those two.

Yea, it made several trips up to North Texas Regional while I was working out there. Very impressive close-up, but of course I didn't have a camera, lol. I may have to drive down to Cavenaugh, I'd love to see the Mustang that we worked on for so long. Thanks for the HU!!
 
I'll be uploading this later this morning (it's 1:30AM here now). I'm still contemplating whether or not this one needs the work I put into the VC with the Bronco.
 
A few more with gloss paint. One with the SLAR Pod as it was originally used and one without after it was re-tooled later in life.

I'm honored that 409 is spiffing up some of my older birds:icon29::icon29:! His stuff looks great.

Thanks Tim, that means a lot coming from you. The OV-10 and Mohawk are two of my all-time favorites having been up close and personal with them during my time in Vietnam. Excellent models.:icon29::icon29:
 
+1 from me, huge fan of all Piglet's models and made a recent transition to FSX. Now trying to find all the port overs for FSX. The OV-10 and OV-1 were the first I found. Great job on these, now if I can find something on the Mi-24's.
