My Stearman is lonely, so I'm building it some company.
The cockpit interior was added to with some ALPS printed decal faces courtesy of my computer system and its peripherals, and a store of images I keep adding to from the interweb. This, like many resin models has fewer parts that injection molded kits and more details are in the castings. The parts took some heavy duty cleaning and two coats of primer before they were good about holding paint. I had to do some reshaping on the horizontal stabilizers so they would fit with a straight elevator hinge line. I think they mostly ended up parallel to the wing centerline. Otherwise the parts fit a bit better than the average of the resin kits I've built, and the casting quality and surface detail is good.
The wing handholds were added to by a music wire replacement for the missing tip bow and were carved a little larger, they will be faired in with Epoxysculpt.

Very nice, so far!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Re: Planet 1/48 Fairchild PT-19
Great to see a Planet Models kit again! It must have been years since I saw the last one build. I have two in my stash, a Fw 190 and a German glider.
Will watching closely what you're doing with this one.

That looks to be a nice little kit John and great progress thus far - I like the work you did on the little hand holds - nice touch.

Fond memories of my Cox line control pt19. How is the resin?
Thanks,
