Looks like a bullseye to me John. I live near likely the largest concentration of yellow rcaf birds in the world at warplane heritage museum in Hamilton. Go there at least quarterly. To my eye you've nailed it.

Too bad the kit doesn't make a real Harvard. This shows how good it would have looked.

Jessica, It certainly is a pity that they didn't mold all the correct parts needed for that version as Rowan pointed out in his review. Yet John's build is spectacular looking.

It is indeed a spectacular model, and those people who have been awaiting a Texan in 1/32 have a special treat in store for them. I just sigh at the missed opportunity for we Harvard fans and I hope that Kitty Hawk will fill the void in due time.

There is always the After Market companies to step in and fill the void.

Hi John

Beautiful build!

But you're mean - rubbing salt into the wounds of all the Harvard fans like that.

All the best

Rowan
