Review and Photos by Steven Hardwick \"Steven<\/a><\/p>\n

Built in 1930 as a trainer aircraft with over 8000+ built before and during the war, after the war there were plenty left over. Someone decided it would make a great aerobatic plane, with its slow speed and great flight characteristics. Adorned with wild paint jobs this once trainer is now a slow flying aerobatic wonder which started things such as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Wing Walking\u00e2\u20ac\u009d where men would actually climb on the top wing secured by a brace staying there in only a stunt suit as the plane was put through difficult maneuvers. To this day some are still being used as stunt aerobatic planes and also things like flying billboards and such. This little gem was also known as a Stearman or Kadet (so named by the RCAF) most of the Stearman\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s were sold off in the civilian market!<\/p>\n

For the Modeler:<\/strong> This review covers the Stearman Aerobatic Biplane 1:48 Scale Revell Model Kit #85-5269. This is a reissue of the kit # 85-5264. It is recommended for ages 12 and up, it has a piece count of 67.\u00c2\u00a0 This kit\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s contents are; two bags of sprues, two \"000b\"<\/a> sprues with one each side of the fuselage, one bag with clear parts, a vibrant decal sheet, and a six page easily read instruction sheet front and back.\u00c2\u00a0 Revell has produced a very nice kit with a beautiful decal sheet, easy to follow instructions, engine detail and superb part fit. The engine is nicely molded with six pieces.\u00c2\u00a0 Even though there isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t an extensive part count, what you get for the price is quite amazing. A novice builder can have fun and so can an advanced builder. \u00c2\u00a0However, this was mostly an out-of-the-box review. I did notice the leading edge on the wing is VERY nice and thin so no sanding was needed there. The final dimensions are 6-1\\8\u00e2\u20ac\u009dL \u00c2\u00a0X \u00c2\u00a04\u00e2\u20ac\u009d H wheel to top wing.\u00c2\u00a0 The wing span is 8-3\\16\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. It comes molded in gray.<\/p>\n
