85sqn Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Hi folks, this is the Ocidental Harvard kit built as G-AZSC as she is today, owned and operated by the Goodwood Aero Club. I've been lucky enough to have a few rides in her and couldn't resist the opportunity to give her a go in 1/48. The kit went together okay, a few hiccups on my part regarding instrument panel placement and cowling alignment. Airbrushed mostly with Tamiya. I have used: Master .30 gun barrels Fuse wire brake lines Ultracast Harvard exhaust RAF fighter style control column in forward cockpit (kit part in the rear cockpit) Maketar custom sized paint masks Some extra little parts like aerials etc from stretched sprue and a radio box in the rear cockpit to represent the smoke generator. Cheers for looking. I have another one on the go to be built as a target tug. Nick 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Great work, Nick! The cockpit looks excellent. I planned to do something similar to recreate the Texan that I puked in after my first (and last!) attempt at aerobatics over Kissimmee, Florida about 15 years ago! You have inspired me to dig out the kit! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithjs Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Very nice!. Someone now needs to build one as she looked 30 years ago painted white with Japanese roundels being shot down at North Weald in the hands of Gary Numan.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85sqn Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 Thanks guys. I did notice that some of that subtle shading might just be some specks on my lense!...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airbus320 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Don't see a lot of Harvards on here which is a shame if they anywhere near as good as this absolute cracker!!! Super job! Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellsprop Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Lovely model of a lovely old lady! Been lucky enough to see her flying a few times, makes one hell of noise when starting up too! Ben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
