This book contains detailed instructions on building the OV-10D Bronco 1/32 scale model aircraft from Kitty Hawk. A spiral bound version is available on my website In addition to the kit's instructions, there are 4 aftermarket kits each with their own instruction. Can you imagine merging all of these instructions? Well, I've done that for you and more. I take the model kit instructions from Kitty Hawk and break them up into individual steps. I reorder the steps so that the small pieces (antennas, etc.) are assembled last which reduces the risk of damage when building the model. The steps are organized to insert the paint and decal steps in the best spot. I also incorporate Eduard's Photo Etch sets 32830, 32831, and 32368 along with Aerocraft Models Undercarriage Set in with Kitty Hawk's instructions. As most modelers know, it can be tricky to go back and forth between the model kit instructions and the aftermarket kit instructions. I took out the guess work and did that for you. The aftermarket steps are color coded making them easy to skip if you just have the basic model. This book provides a little history of the Bronco, photos of the model kit contents including the aftermarket kits, a detailed list of tools that I used to build this model, along with a list of paints. The actual instruction section contains 1404 steps and 180 plus figures over 212 pages that tell you what to dry fit, glue, and/or paint for each individual piece. Each step instruction shows the source (i.e., either Kitty Hawk or aftermarket instruction) along with a block to mark that you completed the step. The major instruction sequence for this model is 1. Cockpit 2. Center Fuselage 3. Center Wing 4. Gun Pods 5. Engines 6. Left Fuselage 7. Right Fuselage 8. Center, Left, and Right Wings 9. Wings and Horizontal Stabilizer Assembly 10. Paint 12. Decals 14. Landing Gear 15. Weapons 16. Canopy 17. Propellers 18. Antennas 19. Nose & FLIR I provide an index of the individual sprue parts that show where in the book the part is mentioned. This index was a great way to make sure that no pieces were overlooked. Finally, there are several pages of in-process photos with assembly tips and the final photos of my build for reference. This book is a great checklist to make your build go smoothly. Of course, you can feel free to use different tools, paint, weathering, etc. or even add your own diorama. I did a lot of research and didn't see anything this detailed about a model build. Most articles or videos concentrate on parts of their build or just give a summary review. I wanted to go down to the piece level and take you thru the whole build. Anyway, I hope you find this book useful. See a 16-page sample along with photos of finished models and other books at glennhoovermodels.com.
