Hi to everyone!
Posted by Sir Blue Henry on Wednesday, August 1, 2012 8:58 PM

I've been modelling most of my life but only now joining a plastic model forum. Glad to be here. I'm from way down under, in what may be the shakiest city on earth right now. Christchurch New Zealand.  Although in the last few weeks we havnt had any aftershocks worth mentioning. The city is starting a rebuild but model building goes on. Only lost a few models in the quakes, unlike some fellow members in the club who lost a great deal.

Anyhow,my favourite topic  - the Harvard, having done pilot training on them.

Favourite fighter - Spitfire

Favourite jet - probably now the Mirage F1.

I do build everything but mostly aircraft.

Right now Im starting a production line of Harvards.

Just almost finished a Dauntless derelict

Those derelicts are magnificent work  Sir Blue Henry! Bow Down

Can't wait to see the Dauntless given the same treatment.

Here's a  some RNZAF  Harvards derelicts for you, they're silver  paint overall with trim stripes  for fuselages numbers to 50  in yellow or dayglow orange stripes for numbers 51 and up:

Hi

Thanks for these pics - very nice. Do you know the original location you found them from. Id like to find more on Kiwi Harvards, and Aussie for that matter

The Wings over New Zealand forum is a goldmine of pics and info on New Zealand aircraft.

This is the Harvard thread. Enjoy
