Jan PetersMade a careful start. Parts are a mixed bag, some very nicely done, some a bit crude and oversized.

Matti ThomaesCan't help you there Jan, I didn't even know there was anti-radar material on the snorkel...

Jan PetersI had a go at it, looks more crude in the pictures then it looks in real life, might do some fine tuning later

Part of the PE set is a drilling template, to create spacers from 1.0mm thick material. But I found 1mm too thick and us...

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.

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 👍

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!

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

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

KennethNoch 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

bughunterIn the spirit of "Piano man": the regular crowd shuffled in ...
Welcome!
Oh, can someone wake up Kyle? 😉
5 November, 12:33
Juergen KlinglhuberKyle! - come on, you will miss a good portion of the show and have to put the stool again in the back... 😉 Just kidding. It is never to late for a bughunter-show

bughunterKenneth, thanks for the hint! Interestingly the Eduard manual of the PE set here on SM told me to remove the mount points for this part 71. After that hint I checked some pictures of original machines and found the modern equipment. So thanks for the confirmation! After my PE set arrived I found out the remove of that mount points is missing in my paper version! Luckily I have checked the corrected online version first.
I would like to build a original equipped plane, but this is somehow limited. I have only the kit decals for a US Army plane "136" dated 1941. There is no serial number mentioned. I have not found photos of that plane yet. So I will build it according the information I have, with "educated guesses" on some points. Later more.

bughunterI made the instrument panels. May be you know the Eduard sandwich method of multiple PE parts? Here we have a special thing!

KennethFuselage innner side colours are also totally wrong in the instructions (overall aluminium). See flugzeugforum.de/thr...103126/post-3062086 where I posted some thoughts about this.

Mr DThe reinforcement is good 💡 idea , even without the warping......it's not a bad thing to do as joints less likely to open up during build.

The shape of the nose is too round. I am still debating on fixing it or not.
