Quite right

There should not be any insignias on top of the wings for marking option 3-4.

I was was a bit questionable about the black and white wing markings for the first option, but I found good pictures on that airframe in the J 9 book, so that is correct.

 

Hoping not to confuse this thread but as a precursor to the Dora Wings kit I thought I might have a go at the Special Hobby 72nd scale one.. Can anyone confirm if option A colour scheme is correct (the box art one ? )as I thought that would be the one I'd do? ie, with the blue letters and large insignia on top of the wings.  I really must try to get hold of the MMP book at a reasonable price....Thanks.

That’s great, thank you.! Where would I get hold of a copy as the link gives a 404 e

You could try the email address but it was published in 2008 so they probably haven't got any left. or just search the ISBN, but it probably won't be easy to find one at a sensible price - https://www.amazon.co.uk/P-35A-AT-12-P-66-Swedish-Service/dp/9163160722

I'm thinking schedule some three or four hours, grab a good brush and practice frustration management!

I’m thinking an initial light green coat then dark green chalk or oil pencil.

Good idea. I think I'm going to try airbrushing it first and see what happens and use that as plan B.

The aircraft was painted in a yellowish zinc-chromatic primer (63-1016), which was then painted over with olive-green (~FS24079) in a mottled pattern. The underside was painted in light blue-grey colour (somewhat greenish FS26176). The top was sprayed with a mix of varnish (95%) and Duco olive-green (5%).

Thanks for the FS numbers, I was having a problem with the Duco and Wedevåg paint numbers. I'm guessing standard zinc chromate, FS 33481 would be fine?

I want a Philippine defender. Lucky for me, those were pulled from the Swedish order. But in this scale, I don't think i have to worry about representing the instruments in Swedish.

Well, you could make one with a mix of Swedish and American markings as they where when first unpacked and used in the Philippines.
That certainly would be a bit different and eye catching.

It would be very interesting to see.
You have a photo?

Yes. The US Government confiscated the 60 EP-106 for Sweden.

 

Shame as the P-35As did nothing of note in the defense of the Philippines.

They where quite outdated and did not stand much of a chance against the japs.
