Hobby Boss 80233 American T-6G Texan Classic Trainer Kit  [HB-80233]

Model Overview and Scale Details

The North American T-6G Texan is a well known World War II trainer that also saw combat and support roles. Originating in 1934 as a trainer, the type went on to serve as a fighter, forward air controller and even a fighter-bomber; the T-6G examples were often rebuilt from older airframes and powered by a 550 hp Pratt & Whitney unit.

Role in Aviation History

The Texan is historically important for its role in training pilots, notably those who trained at Tuskegee Army Airfield in Alabama in 1941. That training helped shape a distinguished group of wartime aviators.

Scale Modelling Notes

This 1:72 scale Hobby Boss kit reproduces the lines of the Texan and presents a focussed build with fine detailing. It is ideal for collectors and modellers interested in compact, historically accurate aircraft.
