Col. Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Those cockpit frames look to be well detailed but fragile. You've got off to a good start though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabbi Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 thanks, Col., the frames are not that fragile. The cockpit is now finished, now I need the student pilot for the front seat.... cockpit green is tamiya xf71 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Hopefully that's the last of the fit issues out of the way now. There certainly looks to be some nice surface detail on the fuselage skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pabbi Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 yellow, painted first with several layers of Tamiya xf-3 then light spray with Xtracrylix RLM 04 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galgos Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Good to see another KH T-6/Harvard in the GB Pabbi, you're obviously finishing yours as a T-6 and it looks very good. One issue that was picked up by the pundits when the kit was first released was the position of the undercarriage, it's too narrow and needs moving outboard on each leg by 2.5mm, though you may not be bothered by this - and it's probably too late even if you are!! I look forward to seeing how you progress, not far off finishing I guess? Cheers Max 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabbi Posted April 7, 2019 Author Share Posted April 7, 2019 thanks for the info galgos, I do not think 2,5mm is something I can correct with my modelling skill decals now on, not far from finishing now 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
