I really like all of those a lot (I'm a sucker for the Texan AND French colour schemes), that's the first time I've seen the Air France Pilot's School scheme - I particularly like that.

The old Heller kit wasn't so bad was it? You've done a smashing job with that one!

Three great builds of a popular subject, it just shows that the AT-6 family doesn't always have to be modelled with a U.S. scheme. In the Warbird world, no aircraft has been subject to having more inaccurate colours applied than the Harvard. The extra work lavished on your Heller example is very well done and civil colours on ex military birds is a special interest of mine, so I love your Air France version. I saw this one in an old "Flight" magazine a life time ago.

Well done, Trev.

Very nice. My fave is the AirFrance one. I saw a few stored at Toussous le Noble near Paris back in 1979. Other airlines used ex military trainers too. Alitalia in the pin stipe scheme had MB326, Air France also had SAAB Safir for example.

A fascinating and terrifically built trio! The Air France is interesting because you don't see civil Texans that often, the second one is an masterpiece with everything dangling open, nice also as a tribute to Heller, and the third is more subtle in its beauty. Very, very nice.
