Been working on this Harvard/Texan model for some time now.
Some of you may have followed the early work (on my cutandfold forum).
Anyway, since I am going ahead with the Texan project, I thought I might
copy the info over here as well.

Not being any sort of expert on the Texan, I am hoping to learn quickly
and maybe hear from those who do have an interest in this bird.
Since I already have a basic template* completed as a result of my redesign of Ken Uhrig's
Harvard kit, I am going to use it as the basis for some Texan models in 1/33 scale.
First...I'm off to find some reference material...although I think I have already decided on the first model.
Wikipedia here I come! lol
By coincidence the first image I see is a nice shot of two aluminum Texans in flight!
I have had this image for sometime in my own files, and I really like the clean look to the aircraft.
Plus I wanted to start off with a mostly bare metal aircraft...so this is it.
Other suggestions for Texans are welcome, but keep in mind I am not going to get into any major variations on the Texan version.

Still working on the basic Texan...
right now, trying to get the basic pattern finished and all the pages for repaints.
Making up some new Instruction pages.
Decided to have a little fun with details like panel rivets.
Hopefully get the Wings done today.

and...a Wing! (sans markings of course).
