Tony T Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Harvard trainer, originally RCAF3312 which was transferred to the Royal Canadian Navy and assigned NAVY 827. 1/48 scale Texan kit used, with Tamiya yellow, cockpit green and flat black used as main colours. Decals from a few sources but mainly a Belcher Bits sheet. This was built for a friend at work who's Dad had flown these in his career with the Royal Canadian Air Force and Navy. His Dad passed a couple of weeks ago and I managed to finish the model and display base before his memorial last Sunday. It was an honour for my model to be displayed along with other mementos honouring this man. My friend was very pleased with the model, thankfully! Enjoy the pictures. The PhotoBucket album is here.

High octane Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Nice lookin' Texan, and I see that you brush painted it. I had built one last year with the Glenview Naval Air Station markings to hang from my ceiling in my den/hobby room and it was the first plane kit that I had built since the mid-50's. Hope to start on another plane kit in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
