This is a model of the Portuguese maker
Universal. Some items are not fully correct, such as the spinner which
is slightly larger and the Pitot tube which is wrong and needs to be altered.
A tip of the helix comes round and any case I chamfered because the model that
I made acting was like this. I flattened the bottom side of the tires to give
the effect of weight.
This model is one of the 469 Texans that the FAB -
Força Aérea Brasileira (Brazilian Air Force) used in the versions B,C,D,G
and SNJ5C acting.
