Airfix T-6G Texan

And it's another mould that should have been retired long ago. Oh well, for $10 Cdn and mostly intended as a quick build, it'll do. One thing I wanted to find out was the idea that pink works well as an undercoat for yellow, and after using both Tamiya colours, it's confirmed. Now, the 'What if?' markings: which major air force never used the Texan/Harvard as a trainer? Probably have to print my own decals again.

BINGO!  ;)    Yep, the Wirraway was a license-built copy of the early fabric-sided version, so it's one of those whiffs that many wouldn't catch.
