Here's some recent updates on the wings. Ailerons were a little difficult to align since they were mismatched.
Theres panel below the hinge where the rivets are in this pic.

Ted, your attention to detail comes to an ultra-fine point!
Yep, very nice job ! Crg.

Been away for awhile, just getting caught up..... Your Progress is Mind-Blowing! I've heard the term Rivet counter...but now the term "Stitch" counter has been created. The Above pictures look like photographs of fabric work. Gorgeous!
Thanks guys! There's a couple options I've seen when it comes to Stearman wing tanks. Instead of stitches, I will change to round bumps. Some Stearmans have exposed tanks and some are covered. On the NASA Stearman I will go with the exposed tank.
"Time is God's way of keeping everything from happening at once"
apparently it's an owner option that involves airworthiness inspections...the FAA wants to inspect the covered tanks every year but only inspect the uncovered 'painted' tanks every other year..so it's cheaper to leave them uncovered.
the aircraft owner then has to decide if the 'authenticity' of a covered tank is worth that extra cost and down time.
Some turnbuckles and sheet metal stuff...

Uploaded this morning so look for "Stearman US Air Mail".

I really like this US Mail texture TuFun, then again I like just about every one you've done! Thank you very much Sir!
Thanks guys! I will catch up with the other two Stearman's right now I'm on a mission to get a few of the Howard's I did up to specs.

If I ever had a wish for free, maybe a repaint of the legendary Stearman from the movie "Capricorn One" may come true?
Best regards, Manfred.
Or the one from "Tora! Tora! Tora!"?If I ever had a wish for free, maybe a repaint of the legendary Stearman from the movie "Capricorn One" may come true?
Rats - why won't anything work properly first time?

I'm not even going to ask if you would possibly consider porting this to X-Plane 11. I know all too well how much effort goes into making it just for MSFS based sims. But Jesus thats purdy. My Uncle next to his at the beginning of WWII.

The N56059 bird has an all metal fuselage so it will need an update. Same for the NASA bird partial metal fuselage. Soon as I'm finished with the Howard 500, those will be next.
As for those other birds above they are different models, I only have the demo version to work with.

For some reason, this thread has become very quiet.
Hoping Ted's repaints haven't been shelved.
