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.

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?😮😖

It's one of Stephane Beaumort's, he used be here and on What-If under various names.
Here's one of his DeviantArt pages:

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

He did/does some very good stuff. 8)
