DETAILS

Beginners will enjoy the ease of construction, while experienced modellers will appreciate the quality materials and precision laser cut parts contained within this truly fine kit. Vacuum formed components, hand selected balsa, colour self-adhesive decals, and lightweight tissue help convert this traditional build into a faithful representation of the classic radial engine wartime trainer.

A brief history of the model:
The Boeing PT-17 Stearman was one of the most widely used primary trainers for American and Allied pilots during World War II. Recognisable by its sturdy biplane design and radial engine growl, the Stearman trained thousands of aviators in everything from takeoffs to aerobatics. Its forgiving flight characteristics and rugged construction made it an ideal platform for introducing new pilots to military flying.
