Halow from Greece.
I am looking for informations about this airoplane because i am about to begin the Monograms kit and i havent found anything else than the In Action book and no 251 Profile Publication. If anybody knows something else ,book, site, photos, models, please let me know.
Sorry about my English.

Thanks for your help.

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.
