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.
