Hobbycraft 1:48 P-36 - Cleveland Air Races 1939

[fubar57]

I did this one a few years ago and can't even remember the colours or brands I used, The kit is classic older Hobbycraft, mud o' plenty. During research I found many different colour call-outs, from four colours to six. Decals came from Superscale 48-50. This is my take on it, right or wrong as these were official colours at the time.

I love it!!!! It's a total pity nobody kits a decent P36. Criminal!!! That looks great. The race schemes are some of the coolest going. An entire squadron was painted and each plane was different!! Didn't wash off like it was supposed to though.  That looks excellent. You've made my day!!!

Thank you Gentlemen. I wish I had found the photo above before painting as it shows the colour lines to be more wavy

Very interesting scheme of the P-36.  Very well done also.  Don't you always find actual pictures of the kit you are doing as soon as the paint has dried and decals are on; only to find out the callouts in the instructions were just a wee bit off?  Great job on what you did.  Thanks for sharing.
