Bronco US Attack Aircraft","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1963, the United States announced a competition to develop an airplane for use in limited military conflicts. Its main tasks were to strike ground targets, provide direct air support to its troops, and provide forward surveillance and guidance. The winner of the competition in August 1964 was the project of North America, which was designated OV-10A and given the name Bronco in the armed forces. Combat testing of the aircraft in Vietnam began in the summer of 1968. The aircraft were used very intensively, thanks to their ability to be based on unprepared unpaved airfields and the short time required for re-flight. If necessary, these attack aircraft were able to appear over targets 15 minutes after receiving a request from ground units, and this distinguished them from jet combat aircraft. During combat missions, the OV-10As demonstrated high efficiency and good combat survivability, becoming a kind of benchmark for anti-guerrilla attack aircraft. The OV-10A Bronco’s combat operations continued after the end of the Vietnam War, and these aircraft were successfully used by air forces around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe first OV-10A Bronco by ICM in 1\/72 scale. 100% new molds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe model is reproduced in compliance with the geometric proportions of the real aircraft.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh level of detail of the fuselage, component, and equipment elements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe set includes suspended aircraft weapons – bombs, unguided missiles, and tanks with an incendiary mixture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes decals for 4 variants of Vietnam War markings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel size (length x width) 177 mm х 170 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBox size: 295 x 225 x 40 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of details: 261\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarkings:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOV-10A 155427, Marin Observation Squadron 2 (VMO-2), Marble Mountain Air Facility, Vietnam, 1969\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOV-10A 155495, Light Attack Squadron 4 (VAL-4) \"Black Ponies\", Binh Thuy, 1969\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOV-10A 67-14649, 20th Tactical Air Support Squadron, Da Nang, 1972\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOV-10A 155472, Light Attack Squadron 4 (VAL-4) \"Black Ponies\", Binh Thuy, 1972\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ICM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44883486408840,"sku":"ICM-72185","price":56.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0650\/3150\/4008\/files\/ICM-72185a.jpg?v=1777256154","url":"https:\/\/hobbiesonline.com.au\/products\/icm-72185-1-72-north-american-rockwell-ov-10-bronco-us-attack-aircraft","provider":"Hobbies Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
