First time since getting back into making models last year - bought after market decals(on order). I have still to choose paint scheme and which decals.

I realy like the Stearman, following with interest. I hope to start building mine (Pavla) next year.

The parts are all there on sprue but did not match what the instructions indicated about the sprue parts.... 🙂 !

I got what I ORDERED, not what I wanted!!! I guess I missed the part number for what I ordered was for a Stearman Kaydet 0- it was just for a 1/32 model !!! The web site HAS what I wanted but am not ordering again....
Back to OOB. 🙁 :}

You should spray white on before applying yellow. Yellow is almost always translucent and needs a decent color underneath. Grey underneath will make it look dirty and give it a green tint and it will be impossible to put enough layers of yellow on to cover the grey.

Or pink if you want an orange-yellow

The yellow look is not what was expected but it does have depth. I may try a few tricks closer to completion.

ALMOST complete. The optional rigging instructions showed 30 lines. I used 20 (did not double up in the front). A little more touch ups and add the engine and on to the next. The next model will be my first with PHOTO ETCH...

Generally happy with the results. *Need to work on rigging in general...
*I did have a bright yellow acrylic but it would not stick well on the primer. I ended up using the Tamiya yellow green and the coating was good - just not 'yellow yellow'.
*The ordering of the wrong decals was a bummer. Also - recap - the first time I had two models on the go. Today was a cold but sunny day. A good day to take the 'official' portraits outside.
