ICM 32039 WWII training biplanes (Bücker Bü 131D, DH.82A Tiger Moth, Stearman PT-17) 1:32

The Stearman PT-17 Kaydet (another designation: Boeing Stearman) was an American fixed-landing training biplane in the classic layout. The prototype's flight took place in 1934, and series production started shortly after. The drive was provided by a single Continental R-670-5 engine with 220 HP. The length of the machine was 7.54 meters with a wingspan of 9.81 meters. The machine did not have a permanent on-board armament.

The PT-17 Kaydet model was developed by the Stearman Aircraft company, which from 1934 was part of the Boeing concern, and this company was already responsible for the serial production of the aircraft. The machine was built for the needs of the US Air Force as a new basic training aircraft. The machine, although simple and cheap in construction and operation, turned out to be successful and was characterized by a solid structure. The machine was also used to train US Navy pilots during World War II. After 1945, many aircraft of this type were sold to private owners, where they served as sports, acrobatic, training and agricultural aircraft.

The De Havilland Tiger Moth is a British mixed training biplane with a fixed undercarriage. The prototype flight took place in 1931. The first production version, powered by the 120hp de Havilland Gipsy III engine, was the Mk.I. Soon after, however, the engine was changed to the de Havilland Gipsy Major with 130hp, and this is how the Mk.II version was created. Serial production started in 1933 and continued until 1944. The Tiger Moth was one of the RAF's primary training aircraft during World War II. Technical data (version Mk.II): length: 7.34 m, wingspan: 8.94 m, height: 2.68 m, maximum speed: 175 km / h, climb speed: 3.42 m / s, practical ceiling: 4100 m, range maximum: 485km.
