nice looking flyer there, Bill.
I built this kit once before, years ago - maybe 1990 or so. It was built to the plans and tissue covered in the same AAC paint scheme as yours (though not as nice a result as you have depicted) ...I was just getting started with balsa models and wasn't very good at it.
I thought that since I still love the Stearman and might have learned a few tricks since then I might take another shot at it. I hope it works out..
