Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 What I've always like about your models Tony - is the ability to take an ordinary, everyday, workhorse of a subject and produce an extraordinarily interesting, well made, and researched model. Any ideas if the camo panels and parts were from another airframe - or just bits that weren't stripped of paint? Jonners 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonners Cheers Jonners, I`m not sure about the camo sections, whether they came from another aircraft or not,..... but judging by the serial and location of the roundel which were both factory standard for a silver Harvard Mk.III,..... I would guess that they came from another aircraft? Never say never though. I`m just pondering on a `fifferent' scheme for my 32nd Revell Spitfire Mk.IX!

Jonners Whether or not the control surfaces are the originals for that airframe any repainting would require them to be rebalanced to reduce the risk of flutter. A hard-pressed and under-resourced Station Flight would have avoided as much work as possible, but that still leaves the intrigue of the factory-standard serial numbers. Would the painters have gone to the trouble of making masks to replicate the original style of the serials? Unless they're reading this thread and feel compelled to tell us we're unlikely to know. Nice and unusual Harvard though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spad Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Now that I like! Love the Harvard and particularly like your swapped-out panel and control surfaces. Some years ago I did a free-flight Mk.1 in yellow which featured a couple of camo cowling panels. Lovely job Tony! ATB Rick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildeSau75 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 What a great build - always liked the Harvard as very likely my uncle learned flying in it in the Swiss Airforce. Nice one. Cheers, Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
