Looking very good. I hope I can get my yellow peril to look as good as yours. I have got Tamiya acrylic flat yellow but also have trainer yellow in Xtracrylix and Vallejo yellow so I'm spoilt for choice.

Like the others say, that sure is yellow! Eye protection needed. 8-)
I agree with you. I wouldn't worry about small differences in yellow shades.

Texan looks great!

Hi Saxon, thanks for that!

The latest pics look great and I quite like your idea of the solid canopy - wasn't sure if I would - especially good if you don't have pilot figures and you don't like empty canopies :grin:

Have to ask, how do you get the shaded effect of the glazing in the canopy?
Regards,

Great work. From your progress this may be our first finished T6.

All the best.

Thanks guys, Miss Stang, I am not sure which shading effect you are referring to on the canopy? I think it might be the lighting. :-)

My carpena decals split apart so had to use ones from the spares box, so my Harvard is actually in the markings of a Gina!

Oh that is a lovely trainer, Saxon.
Don't think I've ever seen a German Harvard before.

Well done!

I don't know that Postwar Lutwaffe used the T6!
Nice finish.

Thanks guys and yes Old Tonto there is a chance for another one or two, I have one more Hobbyboss and one Airfix Harvard in the stash!

Thanks Toby, for a while the yellow did seem pretty extreme but I think it has worked out quite nicely.

Well I thought I had a second Hobbyboss Harvard! I had a look today and if I had one, I cannot find it now! I will see if I can get cracking on the Airfix one.
