Harvard Reno Racer 'Miss Behavin' 1/48 Revell/Monogram

Post by Beowulf Shaeffer »

this is the Havard from the Revell double set, which includes a P51, as Reno air racers in 1/48......no idea as to the age....instructions said 1990 but apparently the Harvard kit is originally a Monogram one so lord knows how old it is really :lol:
picked it up on ebay a while back and never done either as the decals had some damp damage.....the ones for the P51 are no good at all......took a chance on the ones for the Harvard.......had probs with them still tho....i want shares in microsol cos i used so much! .....supposed to have a white band round the engine cowl but that self distructed :evil:
it is supposed to be a replica of an aircraft that was used for air racing in the 80's but crashed in NY state in 1990 after the pilot was doing aerobatics at an airshow

a word of warning for anyone thinking of having a go at this kit.......besides the decals being a pain (the stripes especially), the canopy is a bugger too........poor fit.....you get the option of leaving out the pilots section...didnt want to but had to in the end...had enough trouble getting the main section to fit :roll:

Lovely finish - never thought of one of these as a racer! It does look much faster in red however!

Nice work. That kit still makes up well after all these years.
