Jon020 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Dear all, another small project comes to a close for this newbie (returnee to the hobby), so I thought I'd just post a short thread over here to close-off my small Harvard project that started off as a Revel (reboxed Heller) 1:72 T6G but with a few modifications was able to be presented in the end as something closer to what the RAF would have used in the form of a Noorduyn Harvard 2B (IIB). I tracked progress and discussions over on a WIP thread (below) and these images did conclude that; but I thought that I ought to pop something here for those just looking to see the end result. Was it worth it? Yes, probably. I have to deal with these thing in real life and understanding the subtle differences in the models is useful when working through the history of individual airframes. It served as a useful little project to try some new (to me) techniques and finishes, and yes, it'll do. Next up will be a quick (ish) build of two Airfix Hurricane 1s that I'll finish in BoB era markings (with the anniversary approaching)... whilst I await the arrival if a fine molds F14 kit from Japan that I'll spend a little more time on - the big Ed set has already arrived in the post. Should be fun.

72modeler Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Hard to believe it's not the 1/48 Monogram kit! Very nicely done and photographed, too! Really enjoyed your WIP, as well. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am quite pleased with how it's turned out, but that's the sort of comment that helps convince me that maybe i'm not mad and it is all worth it 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Womby Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 That looks amazing.  I agree with Mike - it looks much bigger than 1/72. Beautiful detail. That exhaust pipe really caught my eye.  David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedders Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Really good. Nice paint scheme too. Bookmarked for when I try to do one.... Â Justin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Mc Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 That is lovely - especially considering it's 1/72. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
