This is Monogram's 1/48 scale PT-17 Stearman. A dainty quarter scale kit that Monogram finally released not long ago. It has fine detail and construction was fairly straight forward. Wing alignment and rigging was a test in patience. A fun build and a great trainer in WWII aviation history.

Beautiful. Biplanes seem like a challenge.

Awesome work! I like EZ line. I also use my wife and daughter's hair which I steal from their brushes.

Squinting real hard, I made out the FAA registration on the vert stab: N65693. Hmmm...
Here's some views of the real thing!
