discussion SAAF T-6

Here is my Academy 1/72 T-6 Harvard in the colours of the full size that is based at the airfield I work.

That is a cracking job Theuns. I'm always in awe of people who can build Aircraft, and particularly in small scale. Superbly finished.

Great work Theuns. Neat and clean paint job

Nice Harvard, does laying down the gloss black really make the difference when it comes to a high shine like everyone says? Also do you buff your alclad when looking for a nmf?

No the alclad goes on as you see it, no bufing needed.

Absolutely dazzling.

Really nice, Theuns, and a great idea for the colour scheme. The NMF looks great - I love the differentiation between metal and fabric.
