My Revell 1/48 Boeing Pt-17 Stearman

January 11, 2016 · in Aviation · · 16 · 2.2K

Happy new year all. Here us my first for 2016.
I loved every minute of this build. Went together like a dream, my wife picked the colour scheme, and I got through it with no problems at all.
If you have not done one and want to, get one. You'll be glad you did. πŸ™‚

  1. Just read a review on that one, seems like a good kit.Pretty in all yellow, thatΒ΄s for sure.

  2. I tend to shy away from anything with struts and rigging, but after seeing this kit built up a few times, I just may get one of these. You did a good job, Paul. I like it.

  3. nice one paul

  4. Very nice Paul, an excellent choice of color schemes.

  5. Nice build and an attractive scheme. Your wife has good taste!

  6. Funny you shoul post this...I have been eyeballing this very kit at the local hobby shop and didn't buy it only because I am in the middle of a larger ship model project. Maybe I ought to get it before its gone...

    Your looks great.!

    What was used for the rigging by the way?

    Nice clean build Paul, good work.

  8. Lovely yellow, Paul, great colour scheme.

  9. As someone with 200 hours in one 40 years ago (when humans could afford to fly), it brings back some good memories. Nice work.

  10. Nice job, Paul. I flew in one of these around an old airfield here in Norfolk a few years ago, and the machine was in the same colours.

  11. Congratulations on an outstanding build, Paul! Your Stearman looks fantastic! What did you use for rigging wires? I have this kit in the stash myself.
