Harvard, WW2 camo scheme

The Harvard was done for the RNZAF Anniversary airshow held earlier this year at Ohakea.

It didn’t fly there, but did at Omaka. Made a nice change from the Harvards we are used to seeing in various silver + red schemes.

To help Benno: this is very few, of course, but I have not more information:

Benno,

I know you have asked me before but will have a little look through my files again. I came up with the scheme for CTKL as FE788when she was rebuilt by MAPS at Rochester, so should have something. If not know of someone in Canada can ask.

Might be a few days as am so wrapped up in a certain 109 FSM, but that is departing in the next few days, so will have time to look at what I like best! 🙂

Best wishes,

Martin

(Thanks FlyPast, nice to be back!).

Benno T6….. the elephant in the room….. You could also try to contact the Royal New Zealand Air Force. They have just completed the restoration and repaint of their Historic Flight Harvard back into the camouflage delivery scheme of the early 1940s. Looks beautiful. Sqn Ldr Jim Rankin would be best bet at RNZAF Base Ohakea. Failing that contact through RNZAF Museum at Wigram just outside Christchurch. The Harvard was done for the RNZAF Anniversary airshow held earlier this year at Ohakea.

Tango III and brataccas… not much help there… Benno T6, have you tried the Smithsonian Institute or USAF Museum? I obtained a complete set of markings and stencil data drawings from those sources for the NAA P-51. They may also have the drawings for the Harvard/T.6 There are also a wide range of very good sources for camouflage data out there. I did a huge amount of research for the repaint of the Temora Aviation Museum Hudson and found that the colours were the closest available US equivalent to the specified British colours. I should imagine that would also be the case with the Harvards but research necessary. Perhaps at a pinch you could contact Warbird Colours in the UK for some assistance. They have done numerous brilliant schemes for UK and Eurpoean warbird owners and perhaps can prepare something for you? Contact data I have is as follows Telephone: 07974 741 638
