P-26A Peashooter 1/48

hello friends of MIL-ART, this is my first topic here on forum, is my last finish model too, and i like to share with you.

About the kit

The peashooter the academy is a good kit, highly detailed, and that's so strange, is as cute, I was extremely excited to do it when I discovered in research for the book I'm writing, that Francis Gabreski, while based in Hawaii, made his first flight in a monoplane fighter P-26.

Not only has the episode ace indicated above, the romanticism, the brilliance and courage of the aviators of the 1930s ever caught my attention, so make this a fitting tribute to them.

warnings about the kit?

only take care of the decal, they are tough nut to crack, ahhhhh yes, prepare yourself with lots of patience to work the rigging ... SUCKS

colors, seems to be an aerial circus, but in fact are the markings of the 94th Pursuit Squadron, based at Selfridge Field, Michigan, in the years 1935-1936

why I say, DOWN the tactical camouflage

hugs and hope you like













with your "red" partner


Cheers

I've just noticed this today Pompeo! Looks great, all those little wires must have taken a lot of concentration and patience to get right!

Hi POMPEO,

Good to see somebody posting model kits. A very nice one indeed and I hope you share more of your wonderful work here !

The peashooter has always been a bit of a weird aircraft, I kinda like it and I don't

Your choice of paintjob is very cool !
