As I feared, the canopy is a T-6, not a Harvard. Those Canadian and British markings would only be accurate for warbirds.

Hi Jessie

Yes - they seem to have a long exhaust, but the way they've designed the fuselage at the rear of the canopy will mean a conversion job. Odd that there's a drop in section just behind it - if it had included the rear of the cockpit, it would have left more options open.

All the best

It is rather odd that the boxtop art depicts a different canopy than whats in the box. The artwork canopy is closer to the Harvard style than the part, without the top brace on the canopy center sections.

None-the-less, I'm excited about this release, and hope cottage industry AM will save the day
