tonyot Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) Hiya Folks, Well here is another Fleet Air Arm Harvard Mk.III, again using the Monogram 1/48th scale kit and again based with the Station Flight at Hal Far, Malta. EZ436 first served with 798 NAS but in 1947 it moved to Malta and served with the Hal Far Station Flight until 1952 when it was SoC. Having come across a photo of this aircraft I just had to model it and here it is; I re scribed the raised panel lines and the model was painted using a Tamiya rattle can for the silver and Humbrol acrylics for the remainder. The decals all came from the spares box and generic sets while the codes were trimmed down from thicker numbers. Cheers Tony Edit,....I meant to add a photo of both Hal Far Harvard`s together, if anybody is interested; Edited May 10, 2017 by tonyot 52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Nick,......well it is the gun mounting but yes it represents a blind flying hood frame. All the best Tony Edited May 10, 2017 by tonyot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave N Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 That's a great looking Harvard Tony. The metal finish looks just right and the code letters are also spot on- very clever! Cheers, Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Yet another cracker from the O'Toole stable. I also like the "metal" finish on them both 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work In Progress Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Nice work. I stayed at Hal Far as an air cadet, in the old officers' mess, in the 70s. All the flying had moved to Luqa by then of course, but we went over by road on a sublimely decrepit and roasting-hot bus every day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cngaero Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Another lovely looking Harvard. I've got a real soft spot for British trainers with yellow training bands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vh-bob Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 A beautiful job Tony. I once had a flight in one and was allowed to "steer" for a while. Magnificent.

Corsaircorp Thanks mate,.....yes please do go ahead and do `911' be nice to see another one. It was a Harvard Mk.III so had the smaller glazed unit behind the rear seat,....are you using the T-6G kit which has the Portugese markings on the box? The one with the yellow RCAF aircraft is a Mk.II with different glazing with a larger rear section. All the best Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
