shortCummins Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 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” my YouTube build log video can be seen here... until next time as always, any suggestions or comments will be gratefully received. rgds John(shortCummins) 23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 You version looks like an excellent version. On a general note, that Academy cover art is one of the best I can remember seeing ever… Impressive modelling! Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 13 minutes ago, Hamiltonian said: Interesting aircraft, lovely markings. How did you do the rigging?
