1/48 SAAF Harvard
1/48 build of the Italeri Harvard MK II a kit in the colors of the SAAF. I should've actually used the Texan T-6 model to be more accurate depiction of the SAAF aircraft, the difference being the MK II had a slightly longer rear canopy. But unless you're a Harvard expert no one's going to know 😉
Out of the box build except for Edward PE that was used in the cockpit. The metallic skin of the aircraft was painted with Humbrol enamel and the day-glo orange with Mr Hobby color.

Interesting scheme. Well done, Celliers
Thanks Gary
I love trainers with hi-viz markings, Celliers (@cwiechers), especially the T-6. Hi viz is very nicely done.
Thanks George, I think the faded hi viz came out ok in the end.
Very nicely done Harvard, Celliers!
Thanks Spiros
You did an amazing job, Celliers @cwiechers
And you are right, no one will notice that minor difference in canopy length.
Thanks John. I managed to get hold of a T-6 version afterward (they're becoming scares like hens teeth or ridiculously expensive) so will be building the correct version sometime in the future.
That is a beauty! Love the scheme and markings. Well done.
Thanks Greg
Great job, love the scheme
Thanks George
