I want a T-6/SNJ

Post by P39time » Fri Nov 14, 2008 6:18 pm

How cool would a 1/18th scale North American T-6 or Navy SNJ be? This plane trained thousand of pilots all over the world, and they are seen at countless airshows these days. Nothing looks, are sounds like a T-6 Texan, and I would love to have a nice model of one. :D

Amen brother! It's an airshow classic and means so much to aviation history.

I have one! Sort of.... :lol:

I picked this up at an antique store today. It's a balsa control-line model of an A-6 Texan, powered by a Fox .15 engine. My guess is that it dates from the 1970's. It came with a hand-written note from the builder/Uncle to his nephew on how to fly it.

It has a wingspan of 31 inches, so technically it is 1/16.25 scale (wingspan of the real Texan was 42 feet).

It will look great
