Stearman N2s

I am starting to build a 1945 Stearman N2S-5. This is a shot of the basic fuselage structure. All brass with working shock absorber at tail wheel.

You have done a fine job on this model, but you may want to move it to the “Other Aviation” section, less it be lost among the superfluous crap that fills this section of the forum. Thankfully they started that section because this section now comprises of wack-job leftist redirect and America bashing. Keep up the good work, and keep the pictures coming.
