The P-26A Peashooter was America’s first all metal monoplane and served from 1933 through until 1938, some were still in use as late as 1941 in the Philippines.

Here’s my version of an aircraft of the 17th PG 95th Pursuit Squadron “Kicking Mules”

Very nice! Bet the decaling took almost as long as the build!

Mike

yes it did, especially as some of them needed to be matched and 'bent' around curves, the spats and cowling were good fun. These were Yellow-Wings decals and are excellent, nice and thin with minimal carrier film

Interesting aircraft, lovely markings.

How did you do the rigging?

The rigging is EZLine, held in place with CA plus

Only the second P-26 I have seen built on BM over the last few years. Outstanding build!

What is the fuselage color? Call me color blind, but I can't decide if it s blue or OD..... 

 

Great build!
