history

The North American Aviation T-6 Texan is an American single-engined advanced trainer aircraft used to train pilots of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF), United States Navy, Royal Air Force, Royal Canadian Air Force and other air forces of the British Commonwealth during World War II and into the 1970s. Designed by North American Aviation, the T-6 is known by a variety of designations depending on the model and operating air force. The United States Army Air Corps (USAAC) and USAAF designated it as the AT-6, the United States Navy the SNJ, and British Commonwealth air forces the Harvard, the name by which it is best known outside the US. Starting in 1948, the new United States Air Force (USAF) designated it the T-6, with the USN following in 1962. It remains a popular warbird used for airshow demonstrations and static displays. It has also been used many times to simulate various historical aircraft, including the Japanese Mitsubishi A6M Zero. A total of 15,495 T-6s of all variants were built.

builders note: Im sorry its a tad late and sorry theres no interior. I've honestly lost interest in aircraft and shifted my focus into auto racing and hopefully my eventual full time career of woodworking. Honestly real life is taking more of a hold on my so builds will be more sporadic, but in the next few weeks I will have at least 2-3 uploads a im starting to finish up some projects. This one here i started a while ago and just want to get it out. The t6 is honestly my favorite aircraft, and was my plat special and wanted to remaster it. I allow you to make an interior if you want but please GIVE CREDIT. Hopefully you enjoy flying this old girl!


keep looking to the stars
