Finally!!! Harvard MK III Finished

[at6]

I finally finished my Harvard MK III. It started out to be a "D" Model Texan but then I changed my mind. Originally, it was to be built as one that was flying around Europe but I couldn't find the numbering for it and I had no desire to add all of the antennae that actual plane has so I did it for me. The intended aircraft was since returned to it's South African Air Force markings anyway. I lost the kit pitot tube so a piece of guitar string was used.

That's just beautiful.

Thank you. The upper camoflage pattern was masked with Micromark Liquid Mask. The big problem as usual was with canopy framing. I stripped it with Simple Green a number of times before I was satisfied with the results. The nice thing about Simple Green is that it will strip paint and not damage the plastic. I've let clear parts soak for six to eight months in it and never had any problems.

I've just tried a new (to me, at least) paint remover on my Mosquito refurbish, "Expo" paint Remover for Plastic, and it worked very well indeed, being easy and fairly quick. I posted an "in use" review in the "Painting" etc threads.

I wasn't aware that it had crashed. The last online photos that I saw of it were when it had been repainted back to South African markings. I had to cobble markings together for mine. The LS619 is to represent my intials and when it was supposed to be finished. The 18 is how many months it took ti finish with all of the canopy painting problems. If you do a google search for Aircraft N696RE, you will find a myriad of photos showing the plane in both sets of markings.
