Harvard Mk.II/II/A/IIB 'The British Commonweatlh Air Training Plan'.

This spring sees the release of a limited batch of the SH72447 1/72 Harvard Mk.II/IIA/IIB kit. It's boxtop will clearly show the wide range of all the paint schemes offered in the kit, which as you can see has been rather aptly named 'The British Commonweatlh Air Training Plan'. The schemes will offer machines from the RCAF, in this kit as used by Czechoslovak airmen, machines as operated by the RAF (flown by Poles), SRAF, RNZAF as well as by the RIAF. While we do hope the modellers will be happy with the selection, we can also say that those who will not, have to wait until the release of another boxing, which is planned to bring the Texan variety as operated by the USAAF and US Navy.

The AT-6G model kitted by Academy is the post-war version of the Texan. So, to make it into a true war horse, we had to add a new sprue of clear plastic parts joined by a handful of resin items and voila here it is, a Harvard in several various colour finishes as flown by STVS units in a couple of Commonwealth countries. The decals offer markings for a yellow RCAF Harvard as operated from Medicine Hat base, a South Rhodesia machine is in natural metal overall with yellow trim, which is also seen on camouflaged RNZAF and RAF machines, the latter also sporting a Polish checkerboard on its nose. The final option is again a yellow-overall machine of the RIAF as flown with SEAC roundels. 

• Highly attractive model in the version which has never been kitted before.
• Interesting camouflage schemes
• Detail resin parts already in the box
• Paint masks also available under cat.no. M72024
