| Interesting. Upon closer examination, the RPM gauge on this particular forward cockpit is missing. Discovered one of the unique things about the Stearman is their original RPM gauges rotated counter-clockwise (reversed of most other rotating gauges on other aircraft) & redlined at 2100. -Sky

| I've seen this exact photo on other websites devoted to the Stearman. I typed in "Cockpit photos of PT-17" & among the dozens of pictures, this one was included. I used this one many times as a reference during the interior detailing of my Guillow's Stearman. Will post images as soon as I figure out how. Going to local college today. -Sky |

| Brother this would make a great T-shirt picture! |

| This is one of the best reference photos I've ever seen!!! Plasticbuddha, so far your work is eye-popping. |

| DD, would you add stringers? Plasticbuddha, how do the number of stringers compare in this photo to the Guillow's kit? Now, if Guillow's could make formers to be this thin, how light would this aircraft be? Believe that's a question for James. |

| That seat and cushion looks familiar! |

| Here's a shot showing the frame without the birdcage installed. Another interesting note is how the wings are built. |

| Here is yet another variation. |

| This must be a very early version as it had rudimentary and smaller instrument faces. |

| A bit nerve-wracking this evening trying to get the "bezels" to stay in place while I placed a drop of CA. Just one more hinge to make then it's a thin coat of matt black followed by buffing and washes. I also found a better approach for the instrument faces. |

| Hi moostang! No, the pin heads are way too big. Those are dots of DupliColor scratch filler/primer that I applied with a 0000 ? brush. Although they seem a bit heavy handed, I can control the finised size by repeated dabbing; essentially building up each dot. It's somewhat maddening as you have to get just the right consistency. Too much laquer thinner and the dot settles into a flat blob as opposed to a fasterner/rivet head. |

| Great looking bezels. Are those straight pin heads used to create "rivets"? |

| Also found this charactrer. Nice details but what really caught my eye was the "nose art"! |
