Title: Grumman OV-1 Mohawk Ideas and Inspiration
Post by: GTX_Admin on April 01, 2012, 06:43:15 AM
Folks,

A thread for your Grumman OV-1 Mohawk Ideas and Inspiration.

To begin with, here are some great profiles Damian did a while back:

I am going to model one of the RAAF one in 1/48.

What other ideas do you have?

Regards,

Greg

In addition to Customs & USCG, I did a swag of Venezuelan AF, RAAF & RNZAF Mohawks back in the day.

Regards,

John

OV-1 looks right for bashing into AV-1 attack plane.  Bigger engines.  Gobs of firepower.

The fuselage has always reminded me of some sort of research submersible.     :o     ;D ;D ;D

Grumman Design 134E, four GE T58s or four Lycoming T53.

There was also a lift-fan 'M' wing Mohawk proposed, GE X-353-5 lift engines were to be buried in the wings.

Take the SLAR pod and rig it up as a 30mm gun pod.

That Grumman Design 134E would be cool to model.

Grumman also did a study for a tandem seat AV-1 that retained much commonality with the standard OV-1.  I'll have to find the references, but I'm thinking I could use the cockpit and nose section of a Pucara for modelling purposes.

ATK wants to add, among other stuff, a 30mm M230 Chain Gun to the Mohawk for COIN operations. LINK (http://defensetech.org/2010/10/28/old-school-coin-planes-keep-coming-back/)

Cool, thanks Greg.
How interesting, and yet ugly is that original 'T-tailed' mockup?😮😖

48th Mohawk wings on 72nd A-10? Or on a 48th Delfin?
