In 2002 Tiger Meet
at Beja in Portugal, I had the pleasure to see the T-6 Harvard dressed in 50th
Anniversary of Portuguese Air Force, so I intended to built it, because it´s a
very beautiful aircraft. It´s nice to hear the engine sound.
I use the 1:72
Academy kit with some modifications. First I scratch a new interior made of
Evergreen plastic sheet. The engine was made in Evergreen and some wiring, based on
web research. The engine aceed panels was made in cooper sheet.

The exterior kit was
detailed to. Normally, I don´t like use resin parts , I preferred to built it in
Evergreen. I used Czech Master vac-form canopy to convert Academy´s T-6 into a
Harvard MK.IV. The long exhaust is a scratch plastic tubing.
The color used are Revell Color
54 and used Decals Carpena, Réf.72.102. A final coat of Micro gloss of
Microscale

Cause this Harvard
was recently painted to the ceremony, seemed to be kept pretty clean, so I kept
weathering to a minimum. I hope you enjoy it.
