Great idea, can't wait to see more progress shots!

Who makes the figures?

Regards,

The Figure climbing off the plane is the stock Monogram Instructor figure (Which I will only slightly modify so the feet and hands look more natural on the plane, I will also move the head to make it look more natural as well) The student is a German fighter pilot figure I placed there for looks, I may put a different head on him and use him becuase his pose already suits the diorama.

Not meaning to hijack your thread again VA, BUT... Funny how things work... After all that time I spent searching on the net for that Ralston Trainer version of the Texan, then Cardshark finds a pic for me...

Today, as I started packing for the move to our new place (same building, bigger apartment.  This one has a bedroom for my War Room!), I'm packing up my old magazines and their it is...

Scale Modeler Volume 22, No. 8, August 1987...

I'd forgotten all about it being in that old magazine (and still having it) untill I read the cover as I packed...

Now to hunt down a couple SNJ/T-6 kits... Hey, maybe I'll be getting YOUR cadet into my dio, VA...Big Smile [:D]

Thanks, VA, Hans!  I never built that kit, the first time around, so I'm not familiar with the parts and figures that came with it.  I do have it now on my hunting list of kits to buy.

Regards,

Brad

I've gotten three old Monogram T-6 kits on eBay. They're still the best T-6 kit out there IMO, and can be had for $8-15. There's usually a few for sale at a time... happy hunting fellas!
