Pitts biplane

[Brudda]

Fisher model.1/32 . This is a repost. Pitts biplane. Very fun build. Resin , brass and photoetch. Painted red and grabber blue. First resin model and first plane I have built. Had to solder brass parts. A lot of sanding since it was resin. The fit was really good. This build was way out of my comfort zone. Doing a Wing nut wings Albatros. This is also way out of my comfort zone but giving it a try. Hope you like.

I didn't know that Paul Fisher had done one of these.  I always loved that little aircraft.  The S2 was extremely rugged and handled very well I understand.  I never had a chance to fly one, but always wished I could.  Very nice representation of the Type!

Great looking model !

Yeah, that little plane looks great - lots of detail.  Looks like it was build by a pro. I guess you do well, even out of your comfort zone!

Excellent!

Thank you PeteJ. Thank you cobra man. Thank you peteski. And thank you Slusher , also for the spiritual guidance.

Great job  Bruce. Well done for your first plane . Nice detail, and at 1/32 it would still be small. Definitely looks right. I've seen these preform at air shows, always entertaining to see fly.

Very nice. With all that detail and those Dzus fasteners, if shot outside in daylight, I think it would come off as very realistic.

I'd always intended to build a real one, but I think I might be running out of time.

Very nice build. I remember watching a lot of those at airshows when I was a kid.

I wouldn't bet 50 cents that you could get a model of one finished.

Wow, it's beautiful and actually PERFECT!

[Brudda]

Thank all of you. This was a fun build. I should have bought another one. Paul Fisher was wiped out with the fires in California.  He was in contact with me during the build. Great guy.
