FSX SAAF North American Harvard 7526

Reworked/upgraded textures for the Eckert/Carter/Flahault North American T-6G Texan (for FSDS_T-6.ZIP; need FSDS_T-6UPDATE.ZIP), representing the classic SAAF livery. The SAAF operated Harvards from 1940 until Friday 17 November 1995 when, to celebrate the aircraft's 55 years' service, 55 Harvards took part in a final flypast at AFB Langebaanweg. This aircraft has often been seen on the airshow circuit flying as ZU-BAL. By Grant MacLean.

Although, starting from the model's spinner and cockpit frames working on back thro' texture mapping problems, the repaint isn't a 100% accurate reflection of the real thing, the model's a fine one and seemed to need a SAAF version ...

Installation:
