Hobby Master will be able to produce schemes forever...! Here are a few examples of Harvards flying in New Zealand that I reckon would make pretty interesting subjects in diecast .

I really hate to admit it because it seems like I'm the only one that has this feeling but I just can't get excited about getting a Texan. I think it's a great piece to make from the standpoint of being able to sell it but I guess it's just not for me

I, on the other hand love the AT-6. I will have a whole collection of the suckers

I'm kinda with you there Tyler, but perhaps starting a section in your collection of historic trainer aircraft is not a bad idea. All those hotshot ace pilots had to learn somewhere. The Goshawk Corgi is doing, this AT-6, and the HM F-20 (F-5) Or T-38 Talon if I am not mistaken was also used as a trainer.

The more i think about it we forgot one main trainer....
The PT-17 Stearman now that plane is long over due by the diecast gods.

have yall seen that AT-6 "Two of a Kind" or something like that? I think that would be a cool scheme

[mustangdriver]

The T-6 is an important aircraft. It served with many nations, in all of the U.S. branches, and flew in many roles. They even used T-6's as fighters in some countries. The U.S. used them as FAC aircraft well into Vietnam. The Stearman would be great to see. I would love to see a USAAF version as well as a Navy Yellow Peril.

Nice pics Spinnaker. Those taken at Wanaka? I have friends who moved to NZ recently and I encouraged them to take the kids to see the aircraft.

The family are by no means interested in aircraft but they were raving about their visit to an airshow to the extent that they even called me in SA to tell me.

I'm looking forward to one day visiting NZ again but this time specifically to visit Wanaka.
