CD48081 - T-6 Texan II / CT-156 Part 2


Recommended Posts

My T-6/CT-156 sheet for the Ibex kit is long sold out, and I still get requests for it fairly regularly. Now that one more Western air arm (Royal New Zealand Air Force) has received its aircraft, it is time for another limited edition sheet to replace CD48008.

CD48081 will be a limited edition sheet with RNZAF, Mexican (both Navy and AF), Canadian and USAF options. I recycled the RCAF serial numbers (126) from the old sheet in the profiles below, but I will change the serial number on the new sheet. Full set of profiles coming soon.

Any chance that this scheme will make the sheet .... Shot in 2007. Email inbound.

Yes! Thanks for getting in touch - I will write back ASAP. I have been looking for detail shots of this scheme everywhere, it is the sole reason the sheet did not make it to the print deadline for April.

I tried fitting a couple complete sets of digits, but there is not enough space on the sheet - sorry. There will be markings for one aircraft from each nation featured (Canada, Mexico, USAF(gray scheme) and New Zealand)

No worries. Thanks for the info. Now, I have to track down another IBEX kit.

Also note that Wolfpack mentioned (over at the "zone") that a T-6 Texan II was one of the 1/48 subjects they were considering for the future. I decided to keep the Hellenic anniversary scheme for a possible new sheet if that new tool kit ever becomes a reality; so I will stick with the original plan for the T-6 sheet coming next week.

This sheet is another one of those that I will start shipping next week - I am working on enabling preorders today. It is a limited release much like the C-45 and EC-121 sheets I had done before; and provides markings for the New Zealand and Mexican T-6's for the first time.

This sheet was received well, despite the fact that the Apex kit is hard to find these days.

I have gotten e-mails from multiple folks pointing out that the RNZAF aircraft are painted gloss black, and not very dark blue as I call out in the instructions. And they are certainly right. I will post a note to the product Web page tonight and provide a new set of instructions.
