Roden 1/32 Stearman PT-17 Kaydet IDF
The Stearman was a trainer in the early days of the IDF. The iconic aircraft received several schemes during its decade long service. I chose two of the more common schemes while in service.
Roden's Stearman is a most problematic build. [...]
1/32 ICM Boeing Stearman PT-17
Overall, a straightforward enjoyable build with some pro's and con's. The pro's are accurate shape, reasonable parts count, good level of detail on most sections, good fit, lots of decal choices, detailed cockpit and engine, and separate [...]
1/48 Revell Stearman PT-17 "Kaydet"
The Boeing Stearman is probably the most well recognized biplane of all time with plenty still regularly flying today since its inception in the mid 1930’s. Used by the military during WWII, the PT-17 was the primary trainer for both the [...]
Stearman PT-17
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 [...]

The Revell Ag-Stearman
The one thing that can be said about ag planes is they ain’t pretty. Leland Snow came close with his shark-nosed, turbine air tractor, but outside of that, ag planes are some of the ugliest airplanes that ever [...]
Stearman P-17 AAF by Revell Germany
Typical of Revell Germany kits, good instructions with fairly straight forward parts assembly. A level 5 & 7 hours is what it is. I enjoyed the process & decided to pass on the "rigging" issue. Might revisit it when I get [...]
Roadtrip Flyby: The Erickson Aircraft Collection
The Erickson Aircraft Collection Museum is located at the Madras Airport, a 45 minute drive north of Bend, Oregon on Hwy 26 near the intersection of Hwy 97N. The collection was originally founded by Jack Erickson of sky crane and aerial [...]
The Pilot Maker: Boeing PT-17 Stearman
I have always love the Stearman and all of it's different schemes and variants. For many years I have been frustrated due to the lack of modern quality kits of this fabulous bird in my favorite build scale of 1/48, or even 1/32. Then to [...]
