Stearman PT-17

by Scott Nelson on June 25, 2020 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Here’s my Revell Stearman PT-17. This was the first time I tried rigging with micro tubing and ring anchors. It was a tedious process but, it sure looks good when done. Better than cleaning up and painting tank bogie wheels! ? I think I [...]

by Alistair Gauld on June 23, 2020 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

Hi There, I picked this up last year for much cheapness and decided to give it a go over my long weekend. Innis advised me that the Sea Plane version was the one to go for so here it is in all it's amateurish glory. I found trying to get [...]
