Very nice camouflage painting 👍🏻

Олег О
Did you draw this by hand? Amazing!

Juergen Klinglhuber
Looking forward to visit "Airpower24" tomorrow. This reminded me that I have taken some pictures the last weeks that did not yet find the way into the album. So here we go.

Juergen Klinglhuber
Little progress on this one.

Guy Rump
Following. 👍

Stefan Fraundorfer
I'm in Jürgen and will follow with interest.

Ekki
And me!

Łukasz Gliński
Joining the party

Juergen Klinglhuber
Hello everyone - thanks for your intereest. I must admit that this is not a very exiting build, but thanks for yor interest - will to the painting this weekend and I just checked the decal sheet,....uuuii, there are plenty tiny stickers to be placed.

Juergen Klinglhuber
thx for your likes mates,..I can report a little progress

Bas Tonn
can't wait for the final result

Super Arbeit soweit! der Airpower19 Eurofighter ist nicht ganz so spannend wie die letzten beiden "Tiger" aber trotzdem nice to have 🙂

Skyhiker
I had trouble with the front landing gear on this kit breaking. I don't know if was just a fluke or if the mold is too thin. It may need reinforcement.

Juergen Klinglhuber
@ Bas Tonn -welcome & I will do my best to finish it soon. 🙂

Juergen Klinglhuber
@ Starfish -thx for your comment. I have the Nato Tiger from '22 on the bench as well. Eurofighter Typhoon - "Austrian Tigers" 7L*WC | Album by jott (1:72)
And you are right - the more colourful livery is way more interessting (application of decals 🙂 - but also to look at it when done). I will up-date the other Album soon.

Juergen Klinglhuber
@ Skyhiker
I am building 2 of those revel kits in parallel - both front landing gears broke already right after taking it from the sprue.... so thx for your advice, I hope other mates receive this info to take precaution.

Raphael Bernecole
Very nice work 😉

Harry Eder
Nice job Juergen! 👍 I'm looking forward to see your Eurofighters live at Euromodell Ried!

Alec K
Late to the party but… looks great 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber
Hallo Raphael, Harry & Alec - welcome and thx for leaving your comments. @Harry - I guess the 2 Typhoons will be ready just in time. Looking forward to meet you there.

Juergen Klinglhuber
So far so good - final pictures soon after the model show in Ried this coming week end.

★ Starfish ★
Super 👍

Guy Rump
Great job! 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Not sure which one I like more 👍

Harry Eder
Great job (on both)! 👍 I'm looking forward to see them live on saturday! 😉

Juergen Klinglhuber
Thank you Starfish, Guy and Lukasz. Thx Harry - see you tomorrow.

Alec K
Well done, have fun at the show 👍

bughunter
Great looking model - and finished just in time for the show 👍 See you tomorrow!

Juergen Klinglhuber
Thank you Alec.
Danke Bughunter. Man sieht sich,.... 🙂

John Thomas
Nice work

Ekki
Beautiful result!

Juergen Klinglhuber
I am pleased to hear you like it John & Ekki - thx

Juergen Klinglhuber
Finished. Thx for your interest.

Neuling
Top work. Looks like a bigger scale kit.

Juergen Klinglhuber
Thx Neuling for leaving a comment.
Guys - thx for your likes!

Alex
Schön geworden! Die wichtigste Frage - welche Farbe für den Rumpf (und die Nase?) Sieht stimmig aus!

Tony May
Still, it is a very nice build! Do you have any images of the cockpit or of the instruction sheet which shows the detail within? I am planning to purchase the 1:72 scale Kovozávody Prostějov offering which comes with the markings for the sole remaining Finnish BH-33 trainer during the Winter War. It has nothing for cockpit detail & I would like to use some reference to fix this problem.

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat, of course!

bughunter
Welcome Robert! Which one you want to take, the yellow or a green one? 😉

Please do not miss the project description, for the _VERY_ important reason for this project!

Robert Podkoński
👍 A green one, please 🙂

Marcel Klemmer
Hi Frank, I am in and do not need a seat. 😉

Ludvík Kružík
I'll sit down too. If I'm not mistaken, one green seat is still open. 😉

Spanjaard
I am certainly in

Martin Oostrom
Green two for me

David H
Be rude not to join in. 👍🏻

gorby
I'll join the audience as well. 🙂

bughunter
Hello my friends! A warm welcome to each and every one of you!

Working on the parts of this kit can be considered bodily harm! The bright yellow hurts your eyes and you can't see any details or damaged areas that need work. I would have preferred a more common gray!

Michael Kohl
Moin Frank. Nimmst mich mit?

bughunter
Aber sicher doch, wenn Du eine wilde Fahrt aushälst 😉

Kenneth
Hallo Frank, the set with lap belts only could be intended for the US Navy variant of the Stearman, the N2S. Until US entry in WW2, US Navy aircraft mostly did not have shoulder belts. I read this in a review of a 1/32 Vought Kingfisher while looking for seatbelts and wondering about the same thing for my 1/32 Revell/ICM N2S Stearman kit.

Juergen Klinglhuber
Schau ich mir auch an,...

bughunter
Welcome! Thanks Kenneth! That makes sense, as the kit offers also a yellow Navy plane with red stripes. Luckily my wife want it blue-yellow. All the pictures I found shows also shoulder belts, but that was mostly still flying machines and I guess the shoulder belts was added later.
I had already downloaded the ICM manual as an additional reference and looked at reviews because of an oddity on the upper wing. More on this later.

bughunter
Because I was still in soldering mode after the seats, I immediately turned my attention to the tank on the upper wing. I like the look of the metal fuel tank now.

Robert Podkoński
Perhaps you will find my photos useful for your build:

bughunter
Yes, definitely 👍 Thanks!

bughunter
Found a nice page: stearman-aero.com/

bughunter
The wing is yellow again, but now the look is better!
I used here MRP-142 Orange Yellow. If someone remembers my Piper: the yellow was "Dark Chrome Yellow" also from MRP. Even this one here called "Orange Yellow" it looks more yellow compared to the Piper.

👀

Alec K
I was just wondering where the heck is Bughunter, and here he is! Lovely progress and topic, following of course 👍

bughunter
Welcome Ben and Alec!
The lower wing is now also painted yellow. I only not sure about the blue. I want to go with the darker later blue, tried AK Pure Blue, but I will also try others.

Jakub Fiala
Nice work on this interesting type of aircraft so far 👍 Following for sure!

Ben M
Love these old trainers. They used to show up at airshows a lot when I was a kid.

Greg Baker
Sign me up!

Zbynek Honzik
A joy and pleasure to follow such a project! 👍

Christoph Kunz
Ui, da habe ich den Start ja irgendwie verpennt. 🙁
Aber jetzt bin ich dabei.

Kenneth
Noch was, je nach dem, was das Vorbild ist: Part 71 in Point 4 of the instructions is in my opinion not correct for a WW2-era Stearman. Such a box typically houses a radio, intercom, transponder etc. on modern, restored examples

David Taylor
Watching.

bughunter
In the spirit of "Piano man": the regular crowd shuffled in ...
Welcome!
Oh, can someone wake up Kyle? 😉

Juergen Klinglhuber
Kyle! - come on, you will miss a good portion of the show and have to put the stool again in the back... 😉 Just kitting. It is never to late for a bughunter-show
