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.
