P3Dv4+ Update to Tim "Piglet" Conrad's OV-10D Bronco

Being as I'm between projects and I'm not really looking to start on a whole new airtanker project since I'm looking at branching into MSFS2024 here soon. Figured I'd look at messing with something I already had. I started working on this project a while ago. I released an updated version used by Cal Fire for firefighting operations and some other related paints to that use. However, the D model sat unfinished for about a year I think, maybe more at this point. I decided to pick it up and dust it off and continue working on it to try and bring it out of the basement so to speak. Being as I have several propeller variants I made specifically for the Bronco for the Cal Fire pack. I will also do that to these as well. Which will create not only the updated OV-10D, but the OV-10G and OV-10G+ models with the 4-blade and 5-blade propellers. I am also working on more repaints as well for them. Seen below in USMC green paint and one of several aircraft flown by Blue Air. I currently also plan on not only updating them for P3Dv4+, but also doing different loadout configurations as well too. Those that would be period correct too. Seen here are the OV-10Gs I have currently in the works with the 4-blade propeller. Like the previous Broncos I uploaded, these will have PBR added to them as well.

Some minor progress on the Broncos. Being as right now I'm largely focused on the OV-10G+ models. I will likely circle back to the OV-10D and D+ models too. So there will be 3-blade D model, 4-blade D+, and the G+ with the 4-blade and 5-blade models. But there will also be an assortment of external weapons and external fuel tank configurations for them. I will be focusing the Ds being on their Gulf War series of loadouts. So I will be doing some AIM-9 Sidewinders and their twin rack and probably some Bombs for the wing and centerline stations. The Gs will have their fuel tank assortments and APKWS II pods flown in Combat Dragon II. Still acquiring loadouts for them to see what all I need to model and attach. Currently. I just have different external fuel tank and rocket pod configurations. There's a lot I'll be messing with on these in terms of how they fly and several other things as per my usual update methods. Currently I have a new higher detail FLIR pod I modeled and replaced the old "dome" looking one the original had. Seen below here.
