russ c Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Hi Everyone, Hope you don`t mind if I share some photo`s of my latest effort: My attempt at Academy`s/Hobbycrafts 1/48th scale Peashooter Which I`ve completed as an aircraft of USAAC, 34th PS/17th PG and representing one as it may have looked in..... the temporary, experimental camouflage scheme worn during War Games that took place during the late 1930s Built OOB with just seat belts and rigging added.... Rigging is done with Copper wire from a flex and the aerial wire is invisible mending thread Hope you enjoy, thanks for looking Cheers Russ 43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Modeller Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) Very nice Russ!! I've always liked the look of the P-26 'Peashooter', a very quirky design but quite pleasing on the eye nonetheless. I prefer the more common blue/yellow scheme though it's great to see something different with your 'War Games' camouflage scheme, which has been well executed, and I commend you for it. Very well done!! Kev Edited August 24, 2016 by Mr Modeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Moon Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Beautiful rendition of an unusual scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForestFan Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Looks great Russ, I recall seeing one fly at Duxford a few years ago - I wouldn't fancy going to war in one! It's a P-26 though isn't it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darby Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Those '48 Peashooters are nice kits IMO and that camo is a nice diversion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBaron Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 That is a most engaging aircraft In shape and colour. Fabulous Russ! Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy Bird Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Very nicely done! It's not often you see the War Games camouflage, and you've captured the look nicely. I have half a mind to do a Brewster Buffalo in the temporary splinter scheme. One of these days... Cheers, Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
