SPAM REVIEW - 1/48 Revell PT-17 Stearman WIP

[Medicman71]

Looking forward to this review. Wanna see how you do the rigging.

A little progress to "show and tell", the interior is painted Radome Tan to give it a fabric look,with a little bit of pastel dusting , the ribbing and structure are painted Interior Green, with controls Flat black and different colored knobs. If given a choice I would sand the belts and added tape harnesses, the ip's look ok but the decals are rather thick so it takes a bit of bonder and patience to get any of the dial detail to show. The office detail would benefit from some am pieces should someone eventually offer them. The fit over all is wonderful and this little bird practically puts itself together for you.









Dry fitting pieces are perfect with no gaps to speak of....







Ip decals do work but I would rather dry brush if there was any detail to do so.....

Looking incredible. I am glad to hear the fit is good. More, please!

So, the IPs are moulded flat?

[Thomas_M]

Lookin' real good, but whoa...that thing is tiny! May have to wait (probably forever) for one in 1/32.

There is one in 1/32 from SilverWings but at a price for it´s a resin kit.

[Thomas_M]

Get a good one and you will see it is the same fun as a plastic kit! My first full resin kit was Fisher Models Sea Fury. Stunning quality. Also SilverWings have a good reputation as far as I have heard.

Thanks for the comments gents, Thomas the ip detail is very hard to see sort of circles, really once the decal is applied there is an area that is raised and that is all that you will see from the top down, but..... I am spoiled on 1/32 scale detail unlike a bunch of fellow modelers here, so I am used to seeing a lot of detail in a "bigger" small area. Jim I wouldn't be scared of a resin kit IF it has had decent reviews ,,, a warped mismatched build in resin is pretty much game over...
