Anti pirate Mohawk.

[Martin H]

Phil air force OV-1 Mohawk(advanced) used for anti pirate and coin duties, late 1990's.



Its the old frog/hasagawa kit, with a new nose (donated by thorvic from a Frog/novo lynx)

Great looking build Martin!

Love the Lynx nose on it too!

Ah!  Caught me by surprise: boom----there's another finished model!

Love it!    

[BlackOps]

Great idea Martin!  I like the color choices for the region.

Phil's Air Force!!    

I like the paint scheme.  What colors you use?

Nice Mohawk Martin! That's a great looking camo job and the weapons load is very sinister looking! That is one fine build.

Wonderful model:
- I love the several shades of blue camo.
- I am ashamed to say I did not know what the Philippines Air Force markings were looking like. I will show to my Filipino wife (when she is awake) this model celebrating her country. Thanks.

SUHWEEEEEEET! Great idea with the nose too, gives a whole new look.

Another neat build and a great camo.

Wow..NICE scheme, and this from somebody who despises the way a OV-1 looks!
(not THIS one tho!)

Is that kit still available anywhere?  I'd like to build one (or two, or three).

The warload is completely plausible, too.  The Army flew Mohawks in Vietnam with assorted gun and rocket pods, and various combos of bombs and napalm and what-not.  Grumman had started a battery of tests involving 20mm cannon pods and Bullpup missiles when the Air Force put their foot down about the Army having armed fixed-wing aircraft.

that nose is GREAT - really makes her look a bit different!

Comment from my Philippino wife: "fine!"
Thanks...
