Is this from the ID plan?

I should know the other plane. A trainer?

Gearup · January 13, 2022, 09:34:45 PM

Looks like the Harvard II currently in use.

Yes, the other plane is a Harvard II from NATO Flying Training in Canada (NFTC).

Thank you Gordon. All I have remaining is to construct some exhaust pipes and paint/glue them on. Decals have been applied and some photo taken where the exhaust would not show.

Roll out 24 Jan 22. The RCAF 418 Sqn colours are quite simple however the red code letters did give me some concern. Overall, a nice project.

Black paint is nice.
