SirBlueHenry Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 According to my knowledge - the mustang and Texan wheel hubs are the same. Tyres obviously varied a fair bit so you would have to see what you want to model in that regard, tyres with tread or the more plain Texan tyres. The tailwheels are not the same - BUT I dont know about the hub, but its such a small piece that you could probably get away with using alternatives. I have never seen a Mustang with a Texan style tailwheel - presumably Mustangs needed something more solid and hence the squared off harder rubber wheel. Max, I got my Harvard Mk1 vacform set and although Im not into Harvard Mk1's at all, I got quite interested in this and decided I would build it, so have started this. Do you reckon its worth making a build log for? Just trimming out the pieces for vacform deserves a medal in itself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewestra Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I recently started my commission build of the Texan T-6. In 2016 he bought the real aircraft in Sweden. After a extensive re-paint, the T-6 is now in the Dutch Marine colors, with approval. This is the Texan T-6 in the new colors during the first flight after the re-paint. I started my build and your work is great and very inspiring. Eric Grunticus, Shawn M, Kagemusha and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiZac Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 It really is incredible to see just how many issues there are of a kit where 1:1 examples are available to reference in practically every country on the planet. Bravo for all the work you've done so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirBlueHenry Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 Well being a new year and all - and before I have time to break all my new years resolutions - i have scheduled this one and the BC1 to get attention My new years resolution this year is to remember what the resolutions were a month after making them. My model room is cleaned up so I can find stuff and I've almost finished the tasks my wife hijacked me to do in January like painting the laundry LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
