Today I was at the LHS with my son, and in one corner they have a rack with the latest Revell releases. On the side of the rack they have flyers from Revell listing upcoming new releases. Well I had a look at the flyer, and it appears that Revell is issuing another version of their sweet new 1/48 Stearman- an aerobatic type like the ones that appear at many air shows!

Looks like a nice bit of something different.

Party poopers... Yes, the trainer PT-17 is a very sweet kit. Well detailed inside and out. This one just looks pretty cool to me with the wheel spats, revised fuselage spine, enclosed engine... Hopefully they will have a few colorful schemes to choose from. Just something a bit different, that's all.

Aw sweet! Gonna keep an eye out for that one!! Saw a Stearman at the Rochester Air Show last year in the tarmac but he didn't take it to the air. Bummer.... Would have love to see one go up.

I have good memories of seeing lots of Stearmans flying around here.... From my youth until fairly recently you can often see them flying the coast here...
