slick95 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Just completed the IBEX 1/48 T-6A Texan II conversion to the T-6B used in navy primary flight school. There were a few things about this kit I was less than impressed with, but I'm pretty pleased with the final product...I mean, it looks like a T-6 anyway. Apologies for the terrible photos. I don't have a nice camera or photo booth set up anymore. In Progress log here: http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=291452&view=findpost&p=2785856 T-45C is on deck! Thanks for looking! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

slick95 Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 Thanks a lot! First model I've built since 2010, and it was nice to get back in to the hobby. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falconxlvi Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Slick, Great build! I really think you've captured the look of the weathering, especially with the staining around the base of the vertical stabilizer from the p-factor doing its thing with the exhaust!

slick95 Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 Thanks a lot, Steve! Most of the flight line birds were clean, but I always liked to see the occasional plane in need of a good wash...which is what I tried replicating with this build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yvesff Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Very nice. I am planning the exact same build and color scheme ! Those PT6s can really dirty up a nice looking aircraft... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fighting Eighty-Four Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Thanks a lot! First model I've built since 2010, and it was nice to get back in to the hobby. As nice as this is you would never know this is your first one in 6 years. Well done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
