ICM PT-13 Kaydet (Stearman)

[drhornii]

This kit from ICM is a very nice kit. My first attempt at rigging and second attempt at painting a wooden prop. This is built for IPMS USA review which should be posted in May 2021.

I've had more attempts than you at both rigging and wood props, yet yours is still better! Excellent work!

Really like the fuel lines. Are those after-market or fabricated?

all fabricated. hand full of custom 3D printed parts. Will be converting to a PT-17 and given to friend which this matches his 1/1 scale plane.....

Your prop came out nice, also.

 

Here's a pic of one on an N2S:

 

 

Interesting aspect of the pic is the *apparent* color of the brass.

Your prop is excellent. A lot of modelers are afraid of bipes, largely because of the rigging. For your's truly, however, rendering detailed, laminated props is simply out of my league. I've got this same kit, but I'm gonna hold on it until some AM decals appear. Then, I'll almost certainly do a plane without the laminated prop. BTW, I've got a Sensenich hanging over my desk as I type this message!

I just noticed this from RB products

I wish these guys made one for the Stearman.

A little 3D printing for a hand full of items. My subject plane has a modern radio stack so I had to draw it up & print it. Same with the dual venturi's.
