WIP of a blue-yellow biplane

The yellow is nice. A red cap will follow on the fuel socket.

bughunterWelcome 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!

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

bughunterHello 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!

KennethHallo 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.
2 November, 08:55
bughunterWelcome! 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.

bughunterBecause 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 PodkońskiPerhaps you will find my photos useful for your build:

bughunterThe 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 KI was just wondering where the heck is Bughunter, and here he is! Lovely progress and topic, following of course 👍
4 November, 03:57
bughunterWelcome 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 FialaNice work on this interesting type of aircraft so far 👍 Following for sure!

Jennifer FranklinThere is nice detailing on the engine; overall, the car is nice, too.
8 February, 00:57
Jan PetersThanks mates.
Although I'm a petrolhead, I've not built many car models before.
My son is a big fan of racing cars in general, and old Japanese cars in particular. He has asked me to build this one for him.
8 February, 05:43
Jan PetersThe pictures are of the real car, I have not yet started with the model 😉
8 February, 09:55
Jennifer Franklinlol, in that case following, you had me super impressed with the car photos I thought were a model build. I though you were that good. Some of the mates on here are that good.

Jan PetersSince I have a couple of weeks off work, I have picked up the Honda again.
9 September, 12:53
Jan PetersMeanwhile the body has been painted with a Tamiya rattle can.
Some small dust particles have sneaked into the paint, but nothing serious.
25 September, 13:38
yngvenettI'm impressed, so following to see the finished version. Question to @Jan Peters: "Engine bay painted a dirty yellow". Is this some kind of weathering? I'm pretty new and eager to learn
27 September, 06:21
Jan PetersThanks 🙂
Yes, the dirtied up yellow is a pre weathering. I like my models dirty, real race cars are never clean
27 September, 07:42
yngvenettThanks 👍 do you know if there's a video on YouTube or somewhere else I can learn how to do what you did? It looks very realistic
27 September, 09:36
Jan Peters@yngvenett to answer your question: I started out with a black base, misted yellow over this, so it does not cover the black, and went back over it with yellow applied by brush. I will give it a wash of a dark brown later on.
30 September, 11:13
yngvenettThank you again for taking time to answer my questions. I will try my best
1 October, 07:24
Jan PetersThis is now done 👍🏻
I will wait for the decals to dry before making the final pictures.
