There are a few details the camera is telling me to go back and clean up a little, but the Stearman is complete. I'm so happy Revell has chosen to make such a nice kit of the airplane, and I see more of them in my future, Navy one in yellow, maybe an all aluminum Army airplane, and certainly a duster. So many possibilities. I added javelins to the flying wires made from .020 plastic rod. The flying wires are an elastic thread from Wing Nut Wings, with just a little copper paint to represent the clevises at the ends that had them. A pitot tube was made of .015 music wire and attached to the left N strut. Fuel lines are .032 safety wire, and the fuel sight gauge is fiber optic filament.
I left the right cowl loose to show off the firewall detail, it's a bit of a loose fit and to get the best fit it would be better to permanently attach the cowl parts. The engine mount is just trapped in between the engine and firewall. There is normally a gap at the bottom of the two side cowl panels on the Stearman so don't try to get rid of that. This kit is really a great compromise between having detail and being easy to build. You can go either way easily, simple or detailed, and a real modeler could go much farther with it than I have. Are you listening, John Vojtech?
Someone was asking how the Stearman compared in size to perhaps the Spitfire, so the last photo has the Tamiya Mk I Spitfire, and the ProModeler P-47N. The Stearman was not a small airplane.
