This is a continuation of the original thread from GB Chat.

This is a single-type GB for the famed North American T-6 Texan / SNJ / Harvard trainer and jack-of-many-trades, in service well over 60 years and still flying in at many air shows, etc. The GB is open to any kit of this aircraft, any scale, any era, any country, any markings, etc ....

GB runs 1 to 30 September. Please sign-up, state your entries, ask questions .... Your GBLs are Gregers & Prisca ....

[Gregers]

I'm in for sure. As a GBL it'll be bad not to.

All the best.

Same here. Going to build a Norwegian T-6. Will be building a Storch alongside as they will have the same scheme.

I will be on holiday in London from 3rd-8th, but I'm sure Greg will keep you entertained in the meantime.

The old Airfix kit - an oldie but a goodie - with some aftermarket decals for an RAF aircraft.

Count me in with an Accademy T6G.Obviously, AMI (Italian Air Force), markings.

[Dazzled]

I really wanted to participate in this GB but my study and work commitments this particular month don't allow me any modelling time. I'll be watching with interest though and I'm sure I'll see some great T-6's emerging .

[Gregers]

Cheers for opening this up Jeff. I'll be digging through the stash for my T6's shortly. The Academy ones I ordered haven't arrived yet even though I ordered them ages ago so they may be out of the game unfortunately, plus I'm having to sort a couple out for a fellow modeller.
My builds, I'll be doing an Israeli one and maybe either an RAF or USN one too.

All the best.

I'd like to take part but I am useless at modelling to deadlines. I'll see what I can do but nothing guaranteed.

[TobyC]

I've got a Heller T6 and hopefully will manage to do it in the time allotted but I am away for the last week of September.

[Eric Mc]

I have a variety of Harvard kits in the stash -

Airfix (ex-Heller)
Revell (also ex-Heller, I think)
Academy

I should crack on and build at least one of these.

I will be in with an Airfix (ex-Heller) Harvard in a rather snazzy NMF/Grey/dayglo orange scheme with South African Markings:

Like this one:

Just checked my Heller T6 which I got off eBay and it has no decals. It was cheap as a result of this deficiency
It has now.

I'd like to join if that's ok,

I have an acadamy kit on its way and I'll proberly do the T-6G RoK markings on NMF.

This'll be my first Acadamy kit so I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes.

What sort of colour would the interior have been?

Neat. iirc the French called their T6's Tomcats.

For Stu.

Damn, I've just come back from the local aircraft museum where they have a T6 cockpit restoration going on. I'll try and get back there tomorrow or Thursday and get pics but I am sure it is interior green of some description.

All the best.

I am looking at a Franken-Texan. I have several Monogram Texan's in pieces and I do believe that an entire un-built kit is there. We will see. If not, my 40% off coupon for Michael's may find one to harvest. Better decals to.
