Hobby Boss 80233 1:72 T-6G Texan Summary

The North American T-6G Texan is a landmark trainer from the WWII era, noted for its adaptability across several roles. First designed in 1934 as a trainer, the airframe went on to serve as a fighter, forward air controller and light fighter-bomber; the T-6G was rebuilt from older airframes and fitted with a 550 hp Pratt & Whitney engine.

Legacy and Role

The T-6G earned a special place in history through its use in training the Tuskegee Airmen at Tuskegee Army Airfield in Alabama around 1941. That training played a key part in the development of a highly respected fighter group during the conflict.
