1:32 Stearman PT17

[RMCS]

My latest addition. Despite saying I don't do 1:32, This is my second one this year! ICM  have produced a cracking kit, with a stunning scheme. It goes together beautifully and the decals are first class!

After seeing so many military airplanes with green-brown or desert camouflage, it's refreshing to see such an aircraft with nice bright playful colours. 

 

Thank you for sharing👍

A cracking model nicely photographed, their 1/32 scale Gladiator is another good model.

My question about the photography. I build bi planes and find that the top wing inevitably casts a strong shadow on large sections of the model. How did you light these pictures?

Also assume that you “photo shopped” out the background and increased the depth of field with a small aperture setting.

Any hints would be appreciated.

That is really good, and great photos too !

One of my favorites…..it looks perfect. Congratulations!  What did you take for rigging! It looks very convincing! 
 

Thx for sharing

That is one beautiful aeroplane!

 

It would also look good in flight, turning sharply and with a waving, wingwalking chick on the top wing! 😉

 

Excellent modelling of an apparently very good kit!

 

Kind regards,

No matter what direction you look at the model from, it's gorgeous!

[Epeeman]

Beautifully built and finished - well rigged too!

Thank you. I have a light set up with remote flashes. No photo shopping,  just a plain white background. Yes the smallest aperture setting to increase depth of field.
