The North American T-6G Texan is recognised for its versatility during World War II, serving as a primary trainer and adapting to combat support roles. First produced from a 1934 design, the type later served as a fighter, forward air controller and occasional fighter-bomber, with the T-6G often rebuilt from older frames and equipped with a 550 hp Pratt & Whitney engine.
The Texan is notable for training pilots at locations such as Tuskegee Army Airfield in Alabama in 1941, where it played a part in preparing crews who would go on to earn strong reputations in wartime operations.
Hobby Boss has produced this 1:72 kit to reflect the Texan's lines, offering a neat assembly sequence and a tidy finished model that works well on a shelf or in a small display case.
