Yep me too. Built the rubber band model in yellow, I think it was the crop duster version and a large scale control model that came with an aluminum cowl. The days when control line flying was popular. These days electric flight is the way to go.
Sterling model...
This similar to the one my dad built. It was a large model compared to my little duster. Had built a Corsair in that size also.

That big 'un looks great - is it the Ziroli kit / plans?
I had built the Sterling one years ago but it didn't survive one of the moves..sadly.
Didn't know you were a builder but the eye for detail on your paint work now makes perfect sense..
attached my last effort - Guillows, slightly modified
back on topic - I could do this all day long..
Not sure what kit it was. I know it was big and had the metal cowl. My dad had stacks of 2x4's of balsa wood for building scratch models. A lot of carving was done!
Also built a Rickenbacker Spad rubber band model.
Must have built 100's of plastic models when I was a kid.

all...day..long... "Yeah honey, yard work, got it - be there in a minute!"...lol
The Super Stearman, as modeled by GAS is a powerful beast. Really fun to throw around the virtual sky.
So far I have not seen anything to squawk back to the factory rep about...maybe an eyelash here or there but nothing significant, at least that I can see.
On to the Duster release candidate and the float equipped models to see what's what.
This thread has become somewhat mixed with discussions about paint schemes for the freeware and what is in beta testing. Anything shown by TuFun is not in the beta test.
