: Looks distinctly T6 ish.

Stuart--

It isn't just you...The vertical fin does look Harvard-like (which, since the IAF did have some ex-RCAF Harvards, is pretty plausible). The horizontal tail does look like genuine Firefly componentry. Can't say the same for the wing in the pic, nor for anything from the windscreen forward with the possible exception of the spinner. And the undercart...yikes! Still, though maybe truly represented by just a centre fuselage and stab/elevators, this is another surviving Firefly. Is this the long-rumoured Cochin one for certain?
