RidgeRunner Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Oooo..... Interesting, but why not any of the earlier, well used, variants?! Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I like those markings too. Tasty! I also agree it would be nice to see earlier variations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also agree it would be nice to see earlier variations I imagine there was little thought by Wolfpack on this as it is a release of the older Academy moulds. I admit I wasn’t aware of the differences in the T-6G and now I realise that for anyone wanting an earlier Harvard there is no choice but to convert.

Wez Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Whilst it's understandable that Wolfpack should re-release the Acadamy Texan, it is after all the best Texan in 1/72nd scale, but Wolfpack themselves are not averse to moulding things for themselves and have missed the chance to give us an earlier or long-canopied version of the Texan/Harvard. I for one would welcome a long-canopied Texan/Harvard in this scale. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_C Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) As I understand T-6G version is correct for American-built airframes in post-war use by various operators for both combat and training purposes. Still one needs to double check if a specific user had a post-war built machine or a variant from the wwii period.

Still one needs to double check if a specific user had a post-war built machine or a variant from the wwii period. Aircraft built and sold effectively "as new" post-WW2 generally ARE WW2 variants, but factory-remanufactured. 2,304 examples of earlier T-6 variants were bought back and remanufactured to the updated (and very greatly improved) T-6G / SNJ-7 / Harvard 4 configuration by North American and contractors, and CC&F, between 1949 and 1952. A small number of brand new Harvard 4 were also built, but they are very much a footnote. These aircraft were sold back to the USAF, with new serial numbers, and to many other government users around the world. This is why the overwhelming majority of T-6 survivors are T-6G or equivalent spec. Edited June 15, 2020 by Work In Progress 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are the instructions for the Academy original - since this has some Korean War options as well, colours are the same. HTH, Andre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
