Great builds, Lyle. You’re welcome on the windscreen I sent you.

Lyle, thanks for sharing those! :bow: The Stuart looks great, is that not one of your best models yet? :shoutout: And I like the Stearman too, almost bought that kit so many times, your model is good inspiration to give it a try! :grin:

You should build one. The wing struts can be quite fiddly and fragile, though. Look around on here and you may see one build by Handiabled back when it was issued. We got a free one from Revell to build. You know, the Stuart did come out pretty nice. Only one small piece went "ping" off into the wild blue yonder. Thank you so much for your kind words.

Thanks for finding the build thread by Brent. This will be a good starting point when I get around to building it again.

Those are classics Lyle! Very nicely done! Time left for one more perhaps?

Lyle, Congratulations on building two great classic kits! You always choose great subjects (I’m thinking of your “Honest John from 1958”) and pull them together in your own way. I really learn a lot from your work because you’re so fearless when it comes to building anything. All the best.
Make more models!
