First Look
Here is the latest from Caracal Models, this set is designed for the classic Testors 1/48 O-2 Skymaster (push-me/pull-you) kit. This set has a variety of subjects to choose from including one on exhibit at the Museum of the United States Air Force, one that is famously depicted in Vietnam Air War titles as the all-black Skymaster with the words 'THE FAC' painted on the upper surface of the wing and even a French-built Cessna 337 converted to the FAC configuration for the Portuguese Air Force.
The aircraft presented in this set include:
- O-2A, 67-21331, USAF (USAF Museum)
- O-2A, 67-21422, CA ANG
- O-2A, 69-7602, 23 TASS/602 TACW, USAF
- O-2A, 67-21402, USAF, Vietnam, 'The FAC'
- O-2A, 67-21349, US Army, Yuma Proving Ground
- CTB-337, 13704, Portuguese AF
This set provides sufficient markings for at least one model.
