Rather than take over the Historical References thread, here's a thread for photos of real Harvards and T-6s.
I've taken a few over the years; here's a sample illustrating some of the many different colour schemes worn by the T-6 Harvard family.
First, some real RAF aircraft (well, A&AEE):
KF183, Hurn, 1984
FT375, Middle Wallop 1984
KF183, Middle Wallop, 1986
EZ407, RNHF, HMS Daedalus, 1986
And various warbirds (I don't have all the serials for these):
Valle, AZ, 1999
North Weald, 1987
Mildenhall 1987
This one is converted to look like an NA-50. Taken at Luke AFB, 1995:
also at Luke, 1995
A trio seen at Richmond, Australia, 1988:
...and a pair taken at North Weald in 1987:

Re: Real Harvard/T-6 Photos
Hope you like some picture I've taken about the Texan (Canadian built, ex RAF) preserved in Vigna di Villa, Italian Air Force Museum, in Italian Markings.
"All-Orange", was the last livery of Italians T6.

I think that modeling is a subtle mix of zen philosophy and absolute crazyness - but in my case I would not dare to specify the respective percentage of each......

Re: Real Harvard/T-6 Photos
Great pics! Here's the one I'm building.
Hanging at the air museum in Bodø. Too far away for me to visit.

The shots of the Boscombe pair took me back about 40 years to RAF Bassingbourn when the open day had a Harvard fly in. Sadly I didn't possess a camera in those days:(
