Re: Revell Stearman PT-17
I haven't seen one of these in a hot minute. I've heard it's a very good kit. Looking forward to seeing more.

Re: Revell Stearman PT-17
Tom, here is a link to my Revell Stearman build. I used to fly a PT-13 and pretty much remember where all them wires go, and the javelins. And all the bugs to clean off after every flight!

Progress moving fast...
I mixed my own color for the propeller. Aluminum, Imperial Grey, and a little bit of Duraluminum

Looking good Tom, the prop colour looks nice.
What sort of size it this in 1/48?

I've changed my mind on the color scheme. I've decided to do the US Navy version.

Re: Revell Stearman PT-17
Well... stretched sprue isn't gonna work. 
Gonna use some silver wire I have. Currently stretching them straight using weights and tacked to the wall. Yeah... that's what MacGuyver would do

Well... this one crashed and burned and gone into the trash. Accidently dropped and stepped on it. Too busted up too fix. Pretty much toast.

Re: Revell Stearman PT-17
What happened?
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!"..
