boeing kaydet/stearman

[woljags]

old style kit by revell of boeing pt13 kaydet dated around 1965,

1st i joined the fuselage

the the lower wings

after mounting the top wing the 1st coats of paint were applied

the kit went together very well without much effort just some light detailing left to do plus transfers

 

[TimEwers]

mean you aint gonna wire it up

 

[woljags]

i might try later but the drawings i have are not clear where the wires are connected to

 

[Wurger]

What kind of drawings do you have?

 

[woljags]

very basic line drawings i'm afried that came with the kit

 

[Wurger]

I have thought it myself. There is a lot of images of Stearman/Kaydet in the Internet. So it shouldn't have been any problem with finding of these wires and the entire wire system. Please , check this...

Modelling for yourself doesn't mean putting parts together and applying a paint only. Also a long distance to a nearby hobby shop is an obstacle that can't be overcome. It is enough to look around your home for instance.I'm sure there are stocks that can be useful for modelling. For example ladies stockings that are very nice for all wires etc.... Concerning styrene sources....joghourt cups, margarine boxes, old CD/DVD,tape boxes, even these colourful ones used for Tik-Tak sweets. These clear boxes used for wrapping goods are great material for all "glassy" parts including cockpit conopies. A brassy wires and many more.....really.

But I agree with Wayne. Enjoy and keep working.

Being "green" is nothing wrong. Just you need to be pushed into the proper path.
