I'd agree, but I wasn't sure how much latitude to give.
I had sourced it as the Heston AOP.
You have control, skytrain

Not a trainer and no association with Stearman that I'm aware of.

An apology to TC.

I received your mail mate, but have not yet had time to colour it in with a felt-tip pen. I will have it ready for tomorrow.

Watching the thread with interest.....................

Arado,

Apologies if this is too small, never used photobucket before, and it's a bit of a struggle for me.
I think I know what you are doing wrong. A PM might be an idea.

Good call Mechta. You've got the make, but I need the model.
Note that this version was sometimes fitted with spats. There are photos on the web both with and without.

I think I will take a punt at Travel Air 4D, judging by the slope of the top cowl
