It looks big. What is the wing span? There will be plenty of detail on this one.

Just over 12 inches, or do you prefer 30 cm?

While the paint cures on the Stearman.
I have been building the old Frog now Novo Westland Wallace, the decals broke up and were very badly cracked, will have to get some for the lettering on the wings and the sides G- ACBR.
Meanwhile I can rig it and continue painting the Stearman.

Here is the Wallace (1;72 scale) with some rigging in place.
Don't look too closely though!

Fuselage on the 1:32 Stearman painted.
I added some spark plugs and leads from plastic rod and wire.
Engine detailed and painted.
