IBEX T-6A Texan II 1/48 *FINISHED*

[austin132010]

Well here it is guys! I just finished my T-6A Texan II. Sorry I couldn't do a build on it :'(, but I was/am trying to keep it a secret from my dad who I built it for. The reason I made it for him is because he is retiring from the U.S. Air Force this Friday, June 15. So I thought he would love a model of the T-6A Texan II, which he currently flies as an instructor pilot. The model itself is from the squadron he was in when we were based in Randolph AFB. And, YES, he did actually fly this exact plane.

So without further ado, here it is:































Thanks for looking!

austin that is great work. Your Pop will be thrilled as I would. Excellent base and satins on the tarmac to boot. Outstanding. I'm going to have to start a new hobby if you keep cranking out work like this.

Excellent gift Austin - both the idea and the model execution is of the utmost quality. Your dad will love this so much! ;D

I love the subject, the Texan II is a gorgeous aircraft (reminds me of the Tucano and the PZL-130, but I digress). And the finish is really great!

Great job Austin.

I think he'll be totally blown away by that gift. Especially considering how much thought and time you invested into building it for him.
