JohnHaa Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) Dear Modellers, Well the old trainer needs no introduction here, you could find and hear them everywhere. Also in The Netherlands the Klu ( Koninklijke Luchtmacht) had 220. They were used as trainer and for laison work till end 1962. Fortunately some are restored and still flying ! 😊 I build my model years ago, I was very glad that Monogram brought out this model, to replace my old Aurora model, which could not fly with those horrible flat wings. And I could use this model as a starting point for other conversions. (Wirraway) I found some videos of a real one, enjoy ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scKxPekVmxw With kind rgards, JohnHaa Edited February 27, 2020 by JohnHaa active link 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt-92 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Glorious yellow snarler, John. Those rivets just belong there. Deceptively large aircraft as well compared to modern General Aviation birds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bryanm Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) Great to see one more of the old Monogram kits scrubbing up so well! Edited March 2, 2020 by bryanm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_W Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Beautiful. You can't beat a yellow Harvard/Texan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work In Progress Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I like it. Did you make the long exhaust yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnHaa Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) Thanks for the nice comments ! Glad you like this old piece of history. 👍 The exhaust was made of a piece of plastic sprue . I heated it over a candle flame to bend it to get the right curves. Kind regards, JohnHaa Edited March 2, 2020 by JohnHaa type error 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerbob Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Ooh, that's nice! I remember seeing the thread title the other day, but I must have gotten distracted (all too frequent an occurrence!). I'm very impressed with the long exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty84 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Basic trainers (especially modern ones) are unfortunately a quite neglected category so it is always great to see such a well built example. Nice one 👍 Markus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fubar57 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Great looking scheme. I cheated and used Ultracast's exhaust for my Goldilocks version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
