Consolidated PT-6A – Photos & Video

Flota Model 1 i njegovi derivati su svi ortodoksni dvokrilci sa raspoređenim, single-zaliv krila jednakog raspona i fiksnim tailskid podvozje. Smeštaj je obezbeđen za dva u tandemu, prvobitno dele jedan otvoreni kokpit, ali u većini primera u odvojenim otvorenim kokpitima. Trup je napravljen od zavarene čelične cevi sa trouglastog rasporeda Varren rešetkasti građevinski obrazac bočne strukture tipične za to vreme, a krila su imala drveni štap sa duraluminijumskim rebrima, ceo avion je pokriven tkaninom. Uprkos površnoj sličnosti sa Consolidated-ovim veoma uspešnim dizajnom Trusti i Huski (otuda i nadimak "Huski Junior"), Model 14 je bio potpuno novi dizajn.
