Hi All,

Here are a some photos of the very nice Kitty Hawk Models 1/32 Harvard. Built as Harvard 7464. This model was built by a very good friend Keith Sherwood, the secretary of the Thames Valley Scale Model Club based in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, UK. Also read Pepsters post http://www.saairforce.co.za/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10705. The first 2 photos are at Scale Modellworld Telford 2014 for which he earned a commended in the competition.

P.S. Keith has won many, many golds at Scale Modellworld over the years. Mainly in 1/48th scale.

Regards,

James

Hi Mars,

Kit:
Kitty Hawk Model KH32001: North American T-6G Texan https://www.largescaleplanes.com/reviews/review.php?rid=1241

Decals:
The kit decals were used for all the markings bar the number with the yellow and black surround.
The numbers were taken from Xtradecal 1/72 scale sheet 72065 and the 48" were used (Reprinted!! RAF Post War Serial Letters and Numbers, Black. 16" , 18" , 20" , 24", 30", 36" and 48") https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/X72065?result-token=CTrh2
The Black Surround was from Xtradecal XPS1 (Re-printed! Parallel Stripes Black). https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/XPS1?result-token=S9T3A

Colours/Paints used, all from Hannants https://www.hannants.co.uk/
1) Dayglo: Xtracolour X253 (RAL2005 Leuchtorange enamel)
2) Extra Dark Sea Grey: Xtracolour X005 (RAF Extra Dark Sea Grey BS640 enamel)
3) Yellow for the number: Xtracolour X106 (FS13538 Insignia Yellow enamel)
4) Keith can’t remember the silver he used. However, I would choose from the AK Interactive Xtreme Metal range which wasn’t available at the time.

Regards,
James
