WHNJ701 4,165 #1 Posted December 31, 2021 Haven't been on here much or messing with the tractor stuff lately. Still deciding whether to sell off the tractor collection. Any way this winter I am back into building scale 1/48 models again. In the past I built a few for some former members on here. I decided I am going to build up the antique planes at a local airport by me. I am starting to get into silicone/resin casting. Some of the planes I build are completely scratch built not from a kit. Plan is to make a few limited edition kits. Here are a few of the stearmans I recently built. Have a great new year everyone! 2 5 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oliver2-44 9,756 #9 Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) Very cool!. They used to convert Stearmans to crop dusting service. When the crop dusters temporarily based at the airport on our farm each year, I snagged a ride a few times. In the off season my dad would rebuild their tail and rudder that had been eaten up by the spray chemicals. Edited January 1, 2022 by oliver2-44 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
