Stearman PT-17


Get ready to double wing it as Revell presents its Level 3, 1:48 Scale biplane Stearman PT-17.
The two-seater, solid yellow stationary wheel biplane is a real beauty-you can even custom paint it a blue with yellow wings and insignia.

Built in the mid-1930s the Model 75 Stearman PT17 was the main training aircraft used by the U.S. military during WWII.  Several thousands were built and used.

White plastic parts come on ten part trees and are easily detached from trees with little or no flashing.  Parts fit snuggly together and surface detailing is precise as are the interior details.
Full assembly, paint and decal application are covered completely in the instructions as are historical facts about he aircraft.  

Model makers the ages 12 and up are best suited to assemble the model although with some assistance younger model enthusiasts should have no problem putting together this historical aircraft model.
