Kitty Hawk 1/32 T-6G Texan

By Bogdan Zajączkowski

Here is my Aeronautica Miltare T-6G Texan in livery of 304 Gruppo di Volo, III Regione Aerea, Bari, 1970.

First of all - I really hated this build. This kit is overengineered and made of brittle milky plastic.

One thing - if you want to build it with flaps raised - as I did - you may expect vast empty spaces between the flaps to be filled with styrene inserts. A similar problem occurred with the wings. And these are not the only faults of this kit.

The model was built mostly out of the box with Eduard's seatbelts, some wiring added to the cockpit and engine.

I've painted it with MRP International Orange. There are a lot of subtle shades of this color - and quite a lot of delicate weathering.

I have printed my own Italian stencil decals. The rest of the decals have been taken from different kits and sets.

I took quite a lot of time but I'm quite happy with the result. You'll like it - or not - but how many Italian Texans in plastic have you seen?

Enjoy!
