Description

This North American T-6 represents KF183 in its bright yellow Boscombe Down tasking scheme, released exclusively for Tiger Hobbies UK. The aircraft’s QinetiQ markings and current Boscombe Down association give it a distinctive modern support-role identity, quite different from a standard wartime trainer finish.

A standout addition to any post-war British aviation collection, with a colour scheme that immediately catches the eye on display. Ideal for display and for collectors who enjoy unusual UK-based subjects with specialist service history.

Grading

Grading Criteria

Our grading is based mainly on the physical condition of the model itself, including paintwork, attached parts, repairs, visible wear and overall presentation. Box condition and missing separate accessories are noted separately where applicable.

Mint (10/10)
- As new, with no visible flaws to the model itself.

Near Mint (9/10)
- Very light signs of handling, storage or display only.

Excellent (8/10)
- Light wear or a few tiny marks, but still displays very well.

Very Good (7/10)
- Noticeable wear, small chips or rubs, but still presentable as a display piece.

Good (6/10)
- Obvious overall wear, visible marks or paint loss; better suited as a display or filler piece.

Fair (5/10)
- Heavy wear, larger areas of paint loss, repairs or clearly visible flaws.

Spares / Repairs (4/10 or below)
- Significant damage, missing attached parts, broken components or best suited for restoration/spares.

If a separate accessory, stand, leaflet, certificate or optional part is missing, this will be mentioned in the listing notes. The model may still receive a high grade if the model itself remains in strong condition.
