Hobby Boss 80233 T-6G Texan Intro

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.

Notable Service

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.

Build Experience

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.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1:72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Engine Detail: Not visible
Most builders can complete the kit with the parts supplied, though some modellers choose aftermarket detail sets for cockpit or surface enhancements.
According to the kit specifications, engine detail is not visible, so external detailing and paint work are the main ways to add realism.
Standard 1:72 figures, ground equipment and decals designed for that scale will suit the finished model for dioramas or display scenes.
