morane Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Hi all Is anyone aware of a good documentation on armed versions of classic Stearman mod 75. According to Wikipedia : Argentine received 16 model 76D1s in 1936 (some on floats). Philippines 10 model 73L3 (powered by R-680-4 or R-680C1 engines). Brazilian air force model A75L3 and 76, of which a plane survive today at the Museum of Aviation in brazil. Cuban air force and Venezuela also used them. I wonder if a conversion of the last ICM is possible? A Filipino model used during the 1942 campaign would be tempting but I only know this bad photo A Brazilian model is also very tempting RadBaron, scvrobeson, Out2gtcha and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadBaron Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I wonder if the cowl in the first pic was taken from something else, or made specifically for that use. Very cool pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 There are some pics out there of Stearmans w/dimpled cowls: However, the much more common variety was the larger smooth cowl: MikeMaben and RadBaron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
