I built that model in 1969 and entered it in a local model contest. I won a first place prize with it. Don't have the model anymore but I have a picture of me holding it in the local newspaper.

Congratulations Tom, Kingfisher is a very beautyfull airplane and Monogram made a very good job in it eventhough its a 67s moulding.

If it is posible i would like to see this picture of yours.
It is very sad that there are not much books or pictures of that airoplane even in the internet, i still havent found anything else eccept those

thanks Tom.

The rear gunner's position on the OS2U. He mans a .30 calibre Browning mg which could transverse an arc of 208 degrees, interrupted by the vertical tail.
