Here is the walkaround of the Boeing N2S-5 Stearman
S/N 75-1349JS on display at Kissimmee Warbird
Museum at Kissimmee, FL, USA. It belongs to Tim
Manna, but I failed to find its original Bu.No., restoration history
etc. Anyway, this particular
aircraft is flyable, and is very well restored and maintained.

There was
another Stearman at the museum, a PT-17 without S/N, currently under
restoration. While we don't have details about this particular
aircraft, it offers the opportunity to see many hidden details of the
Stearman construction.
I hope
you find these photos useful to your next modeling project. If you have
any interesting information about the history of this aircraft, please drop
me
a line.
Just
to
prove to my wife that I really was at the museum that day...
