Giulio's "Giallone". *** Finished ***

[giulio_gobbi]

This is my T6H Texan in Chisimaio landstrip, Somalia, 1954.
About the Acacdemy kit: is a very good kit, worth the prize.
The box is a perfect representation of a T6G.
For the T6H, the version used by AMI in Somalia, I just had to add the small radome on the back of the fuselage, which comes from my spare box, probably a Catalina and scratchbuild a long engine exhaust with a piece of stretched sprue.
Decals come from "Giulio's decals Warehouse"......ok, roundels and black number are from F86 Airfix New Tool.
Here the picture, hope you like, and hope you read brief history at the start of the post.

Thank you all, it was fun to participate in this GB.

Splendid finish Giulio! Great photoshoot as well.
I also had to scratchbuild a longer exhaust, but yours look more realistic than mine. Top job.

Lovely stuff as usual Giulio. Your yellow is a lot more subtle than mine is going to be. Like the photographic presentation. All of your models set an example for the likes of me to aspire to but probably will never achieve.

Toby, do not write stupid things .
My models are not perfect, and never will be perfect.
But i have a lot of fun when I assemble a kit.
If you have a lot fun, pay attention, i said "lot of fun" not simply "fun", your models will be perfect!

About the yellow: AMI Harvards, brought three kinds of camo:
First Period, Overall Silver, yellow wings and black anti-glare panel.


Second Period, overall Zinch Chromate with black anti-glare panel (my model)


Last Period: Overall orange with black anti-glare panel


And my green/yellow, is easier to apply than the yellow .....

Regards.

My feelings also. Lovely model, and an excellent set of photos that really help bring it to life.

Very nice "Italian job".
This color was associated in Italy with flight schools for a very long period.

I really like that, Giulio.

Same words wrote for Toby:

Perhaps it is true that "Italians do it better"

I really like that, Giulio.

Thank you Mr. Grant!

Great work Guilio!

Your yellow paint looks really good especially with the wash bringing the panels to life and your canopy looks great unmasked.

A brilliant photo shoot to round things off well

A stunning build my friend. Very nicely done.

All the best.
