RMCS Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 This is quite a basic kit by Italeri with custom masks made for the current aircraft that flies out of Goodwood in West Sussex, UK. I did quite a lot of scratch building inside the cockpit, and the overall finish reflects the tiredness of the current scheme, including the crazed and opaque windows panels. She is due a new scheme over the winter months which should quite striking. 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Delta 210 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Very realistic representation of the real machine. Have you flown in it from Goodwood? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Monogram one is OK I feel a bit better as it has all those raised rivets that can be clearly seen in the pics accompanying the build here Also has good, adequate interior detail unless you want a super detailed kit.But it only has the straight edge rear end to the canopy. So if RCAF/RAF Mk.IIs with the curved section is wanted the kit will need a mod at this station. I have built a couple and its my preferred choice. I have been happy with them. The thing with the Occidental one I find off putting is the squat appearance of the windshield as in top two pics. ( No criticism meant on the build by the way) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ c Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Great looking Harvard, really nice work capturing the finish on the real aircraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougC Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Nice one! You've captured the "worn" look perfectly. Had my first Harvard trip in this one, so I'll always have a soft spot for it..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do want to build an RAF Harvard based on some AM decals. I'll have to check details to see if my stash, which only has Monogram boxings, is appropriate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Law Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Nice build. I have one of these in my cupboard of doom I must rescue one day. I'm pretty sure the cockpit is done. How was the kit build? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldy Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Very smart looking Harvard Richard - like it a lot. Cheers Malcolm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 A great looking Harvard with a very 'operational' paint finish which looks spot on. It's unusual to see a vintage aircraft in anything but pristine condition but I think it rather suits it and is more representative of how it might have looked in service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
