Well, my 1/48 Revell Stearman PT-17 is finally done; or I should say it's as done as it's going to get. It's on the shelf, and I'm moderately please with the results; but I am admitting defeat on the rigging. Once again, a model had proven that my talent up to par with my imagination (or pipedreams, if you prefer). The last few days have been very frustrating dealing with the rigging, so instead of seeing if the Stearman could fly (which I seriously doubt); I finished it off & placed in on the shelf until which time I have better skills.

So, here is my US Army Stearman. Not exactly as I imagined it, but done none the less.




The kit provided decals didn't actually fit on the propeller, so I painted it Tamiya Gloss Brown with steal guards, and added the Hamilton-Standard logos from the kit decals. Looks ok.



Oh, and I managed to break the tail wheel off at least four more times!
