Built for a friend (and gave it to him today) to represent the plane his brother flew as an instructor for the RCAF, Harvard MK II #3839 in this photo reportedly taken over Trenton ON from another plane.
Here’s the model, with scratch built exhaust extention (had a heating tube for the pilots). Enjoy!
I tried to pose the plane in a similar attitude to the original photo
In the case as given to my friend:
More photos here. Enjoy! (Comments welcome)
Very nice, and an excellent presentation!
Great work!
Excellent work, a very nice job you made of it. The T-6/Harvard has always been one of the aircraft that I thought “just looked right.” Thanks for posting it.

Beautiful work! In yellow no less, IMHO the hardest colour there is to paint.
Very nice job! looks great. What did you use for the weathering/panel lines?
Thanks!!! Rudy
Thanks, guys…much appreciate the comments!
Rudy- I use a mixture that I concocted with some ‘brush cleaner’ water with some other additions like a drop of dish soap to break the tension of the water, tamiya flat black, smoke, rubber, flat brown and semi gloss black. It is constantly being added to to top it up, so it is always different! I apply with a Q-Tip, paint brush or rag, depending on what I am dirtying up.
Oh and I may have used a super fine marker for some of the control surface separations before adding the ‘sludge’.
Thank You for the response Tony, It really came out great. Always looking to learn a new trick or method. That’s a plane to be proud of.
