The ICM 48301 OV-10D+ Bronco Light attack and observation aircraft 1/48 is a high-quality plastic scale model kit that faithfully replicates one of the most distinctive American reconnaissance and light attack aircraft of the late 20th century. The OV-10D+ Bronco was developed as an advanced modernization of the OV-10A, which was widely used by the United States Armed Forces, especially the United States Marine Corps.

The model is in 1/48 scale, allowing for detailed reproduction of both the airframe and the modern systems installed in the D+ version. The OV-10D+ aircraft featured, among other improvements, a night vision system with a FLIR camera housed under the distinctive elongated nose, modern electronic equipment, communications systems, and countermeasure launch devices mounted in the tail booms. These upgrades dramatically increased the combat capabilities of the aircraft, making it an excellent platform for observation, target designation, and direct support missions.
