JimRice Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 The early national insignia with red center is the same for Army and Navy. The U. S. Navy for fuselage sides is only thing missing from decal sheet. It appears the PT-13/N2S-2 version, kit number 32052 may have early Navy markings, including the red fuselage stripe (Instrument trainer) so commonly seen on restored Navy versions, but which was far less common in Navy service.

Bradleygolding Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Just simply this, and I expect that someone will do a set that covers all combinations like they did for Revell's 1/48 one. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The “Recall Birds” were definitely different and one of the really few interesting paint schemes. The problem with in service Stearmans are the limited selection of markings. Pre-/early war Army blue and yellow, pre-war Navy all yellow, early war Navy mixed yellow and silver and mid-war and on all silver for both which can almost be hard to tell apart in some photos. There were some small number, less than 100, blue and yellow Navy Stearmans. They were Army PT-17s diverted, still with blue fuselages, to navy with yellow US Navy on fuselage. That is a rare but historic option. I’ll see if I can’t find a picture of one. another option is mixed color schemes between the different ones as aircraft were repaired with different color wings, tail, etc. Below is a good picture of the Navy mixed yellow and silver.

Every air station had different markings, and almost none of them looked like that restored bird with the stripes. It definitely existed, but it wasn’t common. Not sure if we’ll do a decal for it, but since 99% of the markings are black, I may make some laser printed ones available once I get hold of the kit. Wait ‘till you see the zebra striped birds! Like I said, I have a combination set for this scheme at 1/48, can't remember who did them though. I would just like the same in 1/32. It's a standard Navy Instrument Trainer from July 1942, the scheme changed in early-mid 1943. Someone will do one. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it will take too much work on the clothing to transfer those ladies from the WASPS to the ATA. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
