OV-1A/JOV-1A Mohawk Vietnam/Late Armed Observation & Intelligence USAAF Aircraft (Re-Issue) 1/48 Roden

The first production OV-1A arrived with the US 7th Army in Germany in February 1961. The main task of the early version aircraft was photoreconnaissance. A KA-60 high-resolution camera with night photography capability was installed inside the fuselage. Some design changes were made in response to the requests of pilots and service staff – now the front part of the fuselage could be opened, the undercarriage was reinforced and the electronics were improved. The Mohawk was the first turbo-prop aircraft received into service by the Army.
