Harvard

Well it is a wet Bank Holiday Monday, what else I am going to build other than a model that could well be older than I am...



The model dispite its age went to well far better than a lot of modern kits I have built!

No build piccies as yet.

That looks like very early Airfix to me.

That's quite the ejection sequence ! All thew little bits fluttering to the ground will be less dangerous too......

At first glance the prop looked like it had 4 blades.....which got me thinking.....

Looking forward to seeing what you've done with it.

That looks like very early Airfix to me.

I bought it 2nd hand.  I think it was issued in the late 60's early 70's; it came in plastic bag.  I have a P1127 which is as old as well, but I haven't summoned up the courage to build it yet!

FIFTEEN pounds for that old thing??

Sheesh, I had the exact same kit with "two shillings" marked on it!!  'Course, that was back in the summer of 1963 when I picked it up at a LHS in Northwood (along with several dozen others that I stuffed into my luggage when I went back to the States!).

I honestly think thats one of the few early Airfix kits that I've never built. Arn't those instructions a dream ? Didn't they have written words as well ? "Fit starboard undercarriage door to -------" etc

How did this one end up? Seeing five Harvards at every airshow I attended as a young'un means I nurse a sweet spot for the type.
