About product

Cessna O-2A late production 1:48 (ICM)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the American military aircraft Cessna O-2A in the late production variant, 1:48 scale, made by ICM. A modern kit with a finely engraved surface and a well laid out interior corresponds to the later series of this machine. The enclosed decals allow period American markings. Glue and paints are not included in the package.

The real subject

The O-2 Skymaster was the military version of the civilian twin-engine Cessna 337 with the unconventional arrangement of a tractor and a pusher engine in the fuselage axis and a pair of tail booms. With the US Air Force it served above all as a forward air control machine and for reconnaissance and liaison, markedly so during the Vietnam conflict. The O-2A version was the armed observation and forward air control variant; late production brought small changes in manufacture.

Building and painting tips

You will manage the build with ordinary procedures: clean the parts up and glue them with thin modeling cement, and finish the interior and the cockpit before closing the fuselage up. Mask the broken-up cockpit glazing carefully. Apply the paint over a good base, ideally with an airbrush; the landing gear fairings and the booms will appreciate attention when they are seated.

Who the model is for

  • fans of aircraft from the period of the Vietnam conflict
  • collectors of American observation and forward air control machines
  • modelers interested in the unconventional conception with tandem engines

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
