If you haven't visited the Cobra Company website recently, you
haven't seen the interesting research (and fun) that Chris Miller
has been doing - he has restored a full-scale OV-1 Mohawk nose!
So when you look at a resin detail set for the Mohawk cockpit,
you'll see that this was a labor of love as well!
This set is designed for the 1/48 scale OV-1 Mohawk kits
released by Roden earlier in 2005. The kit is beautiful on the
outside and generally has nice detailing all around, but one area
that is a bit on the simple side is the main gear wells in the
wings.
Cobra Company to the rescue! Here are two new main gear wells
cast in tan resin with nice detailing. How nice? Check out the
Mohawk walk arounds here and see for yourself!
The wheel wells and gear doors are direct replacements for the
kit parts and there should be no special effort required to use
this set.
This set is definitely recommended for the Mohawk modeler and
is available directly from Cobra
Company (www.cobracompany.com).
My sincere thanks to Cobra
Company (www.cobracompany.com) for this review sample!
