North American Texan T6-F Fuerza Aérea Colombiana - FAC 777 This model depicts a Colombian Air Force advanced trainer used during the middle of the 20th Century. It is the only surviving airworthy example of its kind in Colombia. During it service it was registered as FAC 777. My father oil painted it with the FAC color scheme. It has been long retired from service and Mr. José Guillermo Pardo purchased it and kept it in airworthy condition. This T-6 bears the civilian registration HK 2049-P, and currently depicts a machine used by the US Navy in its dashing trainer color yellow scheme. Mr. José Guillermo Pardo and the Texan T6 HK 2049-P. The
1/8 Scale Model I scratch-built all of the internal detail using the old fashioned techniques of Master Jedi Modelers like Sheperd Paine, Caz Dalton, Rodney Williams and Edward Fuquay, but foremost I hold my father Ferrando Acuña responsible for embedding in my DNA the passion for building models out of bits of wood, plastic, paper and wire. Thanx´s Dad! I miss you buddy! Visit:
