I have to admit, I'm a sucker for the Hobby Master T-6 Texans and I have almost every single one they have produced to this day. The T-6 Texan was and is an iconic aircraft - as just about every pilot in training started flying these aircraft in its day and time. This one is sporting the classic yellow paint scheme with some great looking additional highlights.
Aikens Airplanes does a great job in packing their models extremely well for the trip to the collectors, and they usually arrive in just a few days!
