This is a repaint only, for the payware Vertigo Studios Stearman Vol.1 set. This repaint depicts the restored Stearman PT-13 N36360, "Spirit of Tuskegee", owned/operated by Matt Quy up until 2011. The aircraft was manufactured as USAAF 42-17724 and in 1944 and 1945 it was based at Moton Field, Tuskegee, Alabama, where it was used to train the famed Tuskegee Airmen pilots. Matt Quy purchased the aircraft as a wreck and while restoring it back to flight discovered its connection to the Tuskegee Airmen while researching its history/WWII-assignments. With the restoration complete and painted as a tribute to the Tuskegee Airmen, Matt Quy spent a few years touring the country with the aircraft, helping to spread the story of the Tuskegee Airmen and providing rides to the original wartime pilots. In 2011, upon request by the Smithsonian, Matt Quy donated the aircraft for display at the National Museum of African American History and Culture.
