PT-17

John I gave flat what primer then two light coats of lemon yellow so far it’s a semi gloss I’m going to give it one more light coat of yellow to even out the color and will give gloss clear. I been kicking around that thought about flat yellow and I’m getting same results lol 

Don.

What it looks like is a continental r-670 according to google, but the rigging part is approaching fast thinking about using piano wire

Looking good so far, I used a high e guitar string (nickel), for the rigging on mine from a few years ago and it scales pretty well for the stearman.

Jrock83 thank you I'm using .015'' music wire in nickel. I did manage 4 coats of lemon yellow on controll and wing surfaces test fit motor and top wing. I did the rigging on the center struts.

Happy fathers day to all you dads past, future and present ..

the decals are on and Im off. Have a great day.

This is turning out to be a very colorful and good looking build Nick. Will be looking in on this one.

Thank you Joe, yes its colorfull more then any car I painted. I placed the piano wire the easy part. now comes the top wing. I have too many cups of coffee in me for that lol..

Wow,looks real good 

Thank you ToJo  appropriate your comments with the shiny paint ,my 59 Chevy is calling me.. it’s been on the back burner for awhile 

Whoa what a beauty.  Finish looks fantastic.  Yellow give me fits. 

Thanks John yeah yellow is a bit of a pain the wings have 4 thin coats of tamiya lemon yellow drives my eyes crazy...

well the top wing is in place and started the rigging.

Looks like you're doing a swell job on that yellow Nick. That's a real tough color to get good coverage with.

Thanks Joe. I really like yellow but its very tempermental thats why I dont have any yellow cars lately but finished with the rigging on some washes.

Sure is looking good. Agreed on your good work on the yellow, and whilst decals always add to aircraft models, they really POP on this little biplane, don't they?

Thank you Greg. Almost done small small things to do did a test pic with the tarmac I got from squadron...

That last shot.... wow!

Greg many thanks I haven't painted anything this bright in a long time, it could bring back more flashly cars soon.

Mike thank you I finally was able to finish  up at a cool 89 this a.m. and no rain ....yet.

thanks for watching and your comments.

That thing looks fantastic Nick. Very nicely done!

Very good looking model there, Nick.

Joe thank you my friend. A little spark of color.

kensar many thanks this kit sat on my shelf for the longest time and I got to finish my tarmac too..

Wow, Nick. That looks stunning. You absolutely crushed it with this kit. I hear everyone say so many good things about this kit. I am gonna have to break down and add this one to the stash. Super nice work.
