Product Description

The PT-17 "Kaydet", built by Stearman, was typical of the biplane primary trainer used during the late 1930's and World War II. Whereas it was powered by a Continental engine, the same airplane with a Lycoming engine was designated the PT-13, and with a Jacobs engine, the PT-18. A later version which featured a cockpit canopy was designated the PT-27. 10,346 Kaydets were ordered for the U.S. and its Allies. Following World War II, the Kaydet was phased out in favor of more modern trainers. The Boeing Airplane Company purchased the Stearman Company in 1938.

About this Handcrafted Wooden Model Aircraft:

This beautiful handmade airplane model is an authentic replica made from the finest grade of select kiln dried Philippine mahogany wood. The model is made entirely by hand: From the handcarving of the aircraft fuselage, to the sanding of the aircraft's contours. Every part is assembled precisely into place. After shaping and sanding, the model passes through several stages of priming and sanding before it is hand painted to duplicate the actual colors, emblems, and insignias of the original historical aircraft. Finally, multiple coats of clear lacquer are applied to protect the artwork and provide an overall glossy finish.
