  1. I've been away from ARC for a long time, but I had to post this.... Even though the level of detail blows me away, I still shake my head at the many, many errors in the kit. (outside of the landing gear issue) They have left themselves with no room to market the many different variants of the T-6/SNJ/Harvard family. The one piece they leave non-interchangeable on the upper fuselage (the rear canopy fairing) is the biggest thing that has to be changed to make a proper Harvard. The Mk II, Mk IIb/AT-16 and Mk 4 all have the rounded rear canopy. (The RCAF, RAF and Luftwaffe examples included in
  2. Lookin' good! Yep, 438 had Harvards. 3323 is currently disassembled and in storage.
  3. Had a great time at the show as usual. :D/> Picked up a few kits, saw Tony, Shawn & Don, but had to leave early. Was on my way into the Hammer for lunch and to Modellers Choice for some paint, but the transmission on my truck decided to quit working at a stoplight on Upper James.... :angry:/> Luckily my CAA membership covered the tow truck ride back to Woodstock...phew! :cheers:/>
  4. I'll probably make the drive down the 403, weather permitting. :)
  5. Hannant's has 2 in stock: http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/MAG7273
  6. Not going to be able to make it to the show but for those that do go CHAA is supposed to be doing a 3-ship Harvard flyover for the UWO Homecoming Football Game that day. Might be a bit noisy for a couple of minutes! Not sure of the exact timing but the game is from 1-5. Oh, and the Jet Aircraft Museum's Open House is this Sat/Sun as well out at the airport. Supposed to be two CF-18's and one of our Harvards attending.

  9. The fuselage is one of Glyn Powell's new-builds from New Zealand. The original aircraft (B.35 TA661/CF-HMR) crashed and burned in 1956 and the remains were recovered some time later (around 1996?). I was told the owner of the remains being used as the basis for restoration doesn't want it to fly. Wish I could make it down there for Saturday. Good luck guys!
  10. Except that those are restored examples....20412/C-FVMG, 20213/CF-UUU and 20413/CF-SIX. We have gray on most of our Harvard props down in Tillsonburg too. Never seen a gray prop in the RCAF service though. I've seen many different photos of the props, but it looks like by the early sixties when the Goldilocks were flying most were bare metal with black backs like RCAFFAN has stated. Here's something that might help: (you can see where the black ends on the back side of the prop in the second one) And RCAFFAN's right on about the Harvard details, but I just wanted to add tha

    This set from Falcon might do the trick: http://www.falconmodels.co.nz/clearvax/set46.html

  13. You guys do realize that this thread is over five years old, right?
  14. If you are unable to find a Superscale sheet, there's always CanMilAir's decals as a back-up. http://www.canmilair.com/products.asp?cat=169
  15. I generally use Testors' 'Fluorescent Red-Orange' (#28913) for Dayglo (no 'w') but make sure you apply it on a white base. (pretty easy to do on the Arrow, but not so much on a Harvard..) Another trick I've used is Tamiya orange from the spray-can and lightly mist fluorescent red (also from the spray-can) over it. Hope this helps.
