David,

First off, I wouldn't waste any time thinking about which kit to build.

I'd grab all three kits, bring them home and hide them from other model intruders.

You have three great kits there!

I built two of them.

Sure, the Waco is a much better looking airplane and would be the first choice. That one is probably the 1/7 scale model. The other Waco offered by Pica was at 1/5 scale. I built and still have the 1/7 scale Waco.

The Stearman is a fine model but certainly falls short in appearance compared to the Waco.

The Beech can be hidden for a while. Still a great looking and popular model.

Here's my Waco as it looks today.
