This is a cute little plane, but it is NOT a PT-17. It is way too small, the main gear struts are too big, and the fuselage to vertical stabilizer transition is wrong. Do a search for a REAL PT-17 and you can clearly see the difference. This may be a reduced scale project that someone made, but definitely NOT a PT-17.
@Wolfgang1224 This is an original UPF-7 built in 1942. The most obvious differences are the struts like you pointed out and the "headrest" behind the pilot. I promise it isn't any kind of reduced scale project.
