New Stearman pics
Posted by Don Stauffer on Thursday, September 25, 2014 9:04 AM

I had posted a couple of pix of my Revell PT-17 when I finished it a couple of months ago.  The pictures were not the best, though, as the weather was windy and blowing my setup around a lot.  Had some nice weather last week, so I shot some more pics of that plane.

I loved that kit. It is a great release, really find molding for detail and fit.  It is not a beginner's kit because it is a bit fragile.  That is the price you must pay for things like small diameter tubing in correct scale.  There is a lot of internal detail.  The low price also shows that one can market really top quality kits without needing purchasers to take out financing!

Great job on the pictures and the kit.Yes

I snagged one off the shelf at Hobby Lobby and came out to around $10 with the 40% coupon. HL hasn't re stocked it otherwise I would have grabbed another one. The kit is truly a little gem.

Much better pics of your usual good work. I really admire your builds and the care you take to photograph them!

Got mine earlier this year when I first heard it was out. Got it at Hobby Lobby for $11 bucks.

Outstanding build, Don! If it weren't for the background, I'd athunk it was a real plane.

Looks great, I am building it also and I would like to know what paint you used. I can't find that color blue. Thanks
