ICM 1/32 PT-17 Cadet/Stearman

By Matt Schloss

I have completed the ICM 1/32 PT-17 Stearman.

I loved this build, except for one thing. The rigging required the use of several cups of coffee, and a large quantity of curse words. Not too proud of the last one but got it done.

I built it mostly out of the box except for Quinta Studios instrument panels and seat belts.

The paint used is my favorite MRP Paints, Infini line for the rigging, and masks for the code letters and US Army marking on the bottom of the wing. Other markings like national markings and stencils were the kit decals.

I would like to do this again and add a bit more scratch building to the kit. For more on the construction of this kit, check out my build thread in the Works in Progress forum.
