The Stearman PT-17 Kaydet is an American biplane training aircraft that was widely used during World War II. Designed by Stearman Aircraft in the 1930s, this model was the primary training machine for pilots of the US Army Air Forces, US Navy, as well as many allied countries (including Canada and Great Britain). The PT-17 was an indispensable part of the training program—over 10,000 units were produced, and its wide application spanned both World War II and the postwar years.

This model kit allows for a highly accurate recreation of the Stearman PT-17 Kaydet's construction thanks to finely detailed paneling, the biplane wing arrangement, a realistic cockpit, and its characteristic radial engine. The entire kit is made from high-quality plastic, which is easy to work with and paint. The set includes plastic parts, decals to replicate authentic markings, and a clear assembly instruction.
