• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

For any modellers out there...

Neil, as of last month, a 1/32 scale AT-6 is now available, done by the manufacturer "Kitty Hawk" (I can provide links, but it is perhaps better to google it to see all the results you get). You can build it to represent various variants as well, including an AT-6G, SNJ-5, or Harvard Mk.IV. Compared with the Stearman kit, however, it is a very expensive kit, the 1/32 scale Texan.

Thanks for the heads-up on the Kitty hawk T-6, John; I'll definitely be checking that one out. I flew both am AT-6G and Harvard IV extensively with the CWH years ago and it quickly became one of my all-time favourite aircraft (another reason why I enjoy your repaints for the Six so much). There's a company called Craftworks that had announced plans for a 1/32nd scale T-6 way back in 2008, but it never seemed to have come to fruition, and I'd heard rumours that Fisher Model and Pattern was considering doing one but they've remained rumours so far, but they've got what looks to be a truly gorgeous Ryan ST-A/ST-M available now, certainly one of the most beautiful airplanes to have ever graced the skies...
