Jan_G Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 there is never enough Stearmans together with PBY and C-47 one of my all time favourite plane I have started Roden kit while back but didn't proceed far. And after I have recieved my ICM release, I have decided that will try to finish both I will fiinsh one in early scheme yellow / blue and one overall silver, most probably I will use ICM decals for markings and masks for insignias Im using Eduard PEs released for Roden kit for the ICM as well. Painted with Mr. Paint fuselage - ICM below Roden ICM left ICM below ICM below Eduard PE seats and seatbelts Eduard PE instrument panels ICM below ICM right ICM fuselage+cockpit Roden version ICM in front So far I can confirm that ICM release is superior to Roden in surface, details and fit IMHO Roden is not bad kit, but I have to clean every part what annoys me a little thanks for looking jan AlbertD, Trak-Tor, John1 and 21 others 23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradleygolding Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) The ICM looks better scale wise with tubing sizes, but neither have the standard N2S-3 Tail Wheel locking system on the starboard side of the cockpit. A standard US NAVY feature. Steve Edited September 13, 2020 by Bradleygolding Martinnfb, Jan_G and ivanmoe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Stambaugh Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Thank you Jan for this comparison build. This will certainly help me to decide which to purchase as a Stearman is IMO mandatory for the collection. John S Jan_G and ivanmoe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivanmoe Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Nice kits, but I have to say that I prefer the ICM version. I’m a little surprised, however, that no one has produced AM decals for it. My only complaint! scvrobeson, quang, MikeC and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what I felt. Looks like one’s always looking for the precise decals one don’t have. I’m currently doing the ICM Stearman for a quick build. So what colour scheme did I choose? The all-silver 88 option they give in the Roden kit! Go figure Jan_G and ivanmoe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Hey Jan, Has there been any updates with this one? Does the ICM kit still lead over the Roden one? Matt Jan_G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Hi Matt, finally I was able to manage some time at bench and move on a little. The ICM version is superior compared to Roden's one, however I don't have any problems with Roden Stearman. It's more or less as to build the resin kit, you need to clean every part jan MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_G Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) finally few in progress pics Roden kit, markings sprayed and ICM NMF marking and insignias masked and sprayed some decals applied already and this happens when painting after 1am few moments I was really thinking what's wrong with the insignia blue shade and corrected Thanks for looking jan Edited March 22, 2021 by Jan_G Dart_Schatten, Grunticus, Trak-Tor and 9 others 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
