Formerly identified as a 2001 - 2021 Anniversary build, this will now take the place of honour as the first new build started in 2022. CT-156 Harvard II aka Texan II, in block form. At 1/72 scale it is similar in size to WWII ID models.

Dark blue painted. Next gloss spray. I will have to see how to make white lettering. I may purchase after market decals.

Great looking model Lou. I think that the Harvard II would be a fun aircraft to fly with all the modern systems and power.

Roll out 5 Feb 2022. CanMilAir decals are fantastic if a bit on the pricey side. This make 70 of 100 in my RCAF 100^th goal
