This is a repaint only, for the payware Vertigo Studios Stearman Vol.1 set. This repaint depicts the restored Stearman PT-17 G-BAVO, owned/operated by Rory Clement McCarthey, based at Enstone Airfield, England. The aircraft's last military service was with the Israeli Air Force, prior to being imported to England in 1980. For a time, the aircraft was owned by the actor Martin Shaw. The aircraft is painted in early-WWII U.S. Army Air Corps trainer colors.
