DETAILS

Designed to replace the Cessna O-1 Bird Dog, the O-2 Skymaster observation aircraft took to the air in January 1967 and served with the US military right up until 2010. Of the 513 built, a staggering 178 were lost in the Vietnam war. A military version of the Cessna 337 Super Skymaster the O-2A was specifically designed for use in forward air control missions and had the ability of carrying underwing ordnance such as rockets, gun pods and flares.

Seagull s evocative rendition of the military war horse faithfully captures the spirit of the aircraft in laser-cut balsa and ply, covered, as always, in beautifully applied Oracover film. Designed for twin .36cu. In. two-stroke engines (or equivalent electric power) the Cessna s 76 wingspan, twin boom tail and rugged utility looks give it presence by the bucket-load. Without question, it s a model that will be a talking point wherever you fly it.
