What do you get when you combine these two kits?

You get this, the Grumman Model 134 which was a competitor (unbuilt) to the North American OV-10 Bronco in the early 1960s:

Apologies for the poor quality of some of the images. Damn camera. :banghead:
Nice.
You wouldn't happen to have any in progress pics would you? Would love to see how you did the nose conversion.
No, sorry, I was being a bit of a lazy blighter. Couldn't be bothered stopping to take photos. :lol: I was having too much fun doing the modelling. Basically I cut the nose off the TA-4J, cut the extreme nose off that and cut the cockpit area off the OV-1A and mated the two and then loads of PSR!! ;D
Fantastic conversion of a great pic, a great aircraft, and a great unbuilt variant!
On the JMN side of things, ALL Mohawks were designated Model G-134... but the COIN/LARA proposal that you've modeled here was designated Design 134R, also known as Model G-340! Or did you start from a different proposal? The nose you've done is square off a bit, while the G-340 was streamlined and much shorter...
What can I say? In my What-If world, this is what the Grumman Model 134 looks like. ;)
