discussion academy 1/72 T-6 Harvard

[Guest]

I am usy with my 1/32 Tamiya P-51d for the MOY in January. It is such a high pressure build for me that I started this little 1/72 Academy T-6 Harvard as a distraction buld. It will look like on that is based at the field I work.

As the canopy is closed , and SAAF Harvards had the extra canopy framing I went for a simple interior as very little is visable anyway.

Hi Tony, you will love the 1/48 Italeri "spam can" I built one before and have another in the stach that I will do in the standard SAAF dayglow scheme.


I am building this little one for the MOY 1/72 props at the end of Jan.

Here is my attempt at replicating the pollished alluminium.


3 coats of alclad airframe allu. I found that if I use pollished allu in 72'nd scale it looks to "mirror like"

Looking nice Theuns. It's nice to have a play in 1:72 once in a while. The results obviously come a lot quicker.
