Texan T-6G Venezuelan Air Force

During 1941 and until 1945, the Venezuelan Military Aviation (AMV) received 20 Texan AT-6C and AT-6D aircraft, in addition to using it as training aircraft, many were armed with machine guns and small bombs, to patrol and protect the Venezuelan coasts. At the end of 1946, 12 Texan T-6G were received, which were piloted by Venezuelans from Los Angeles, California to Boca de Rio Air Base in Maracay, Venezuela. The last T-6G ended their operational life in 1972.

For the construction of the Texan T-6G, number E-84, I used the Italeri model: T-6G Texan, in 1:48 scale. Some scratch building was necessary to do some details. The paint used is acrylic from Model Master (Testor) applied with an airbrush; decals were home made.

Enjoy the photos.
