umtutsut Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Woo hoo! Five months of work and it's done. Herewith pix of my finished 1/32 Hasegawa P-26A, markings for a flight leader of the 6th Pursuit Squadron based at Wheeler Field circa 1939. Added details include some scratchbuilt interior parts, new engine pushrods and an exhaust collector. Rigging is .015 wire. The figure is a ground crew guy from somewhere, modified with a spare Master Details head. Not perfect, but overall a pretty good looking model. Comments welcome!

richter111 Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Man that sure is pretty! I tried mine, and botched it badly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TXCajun Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Man, I've got that one in the stash and actually pulled it out the other day to ponder building it sometime in the near future. You sure did a nice job with it. Thanks for posting! Stew Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Graemeb Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Very Neat, Must say that there is just something about the old stringy things that catches me. They all look good must get some of mine out eventually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ilpwnp Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Nice job! I've always wanted to get that kit... now I may just have to after seeing yours. I'd love to see more models from the "Golden Age" of aviation and I think it's an era that has been sorely overlooked by the model companies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

p-26luvr Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 A truly beautiful P-26. If you would tell me where you sourced your markings information I'd appreciate it. Over the last 2 weeks I have been cleaning up 16 P-26 models preparatory to sanding & painting ( 10 in 1/48th & 6 in 1/32nd ) I've already painted the 1/48th motors & have the 1/32nd ones in front of me now to be painted. Some years ago I bullt 3 of the 1/32nd kits. I still have 3 more of the 1/32nd kits to build and am looking for Hasegawa's kit # 08156 issue of the 1/32nd model especially for the markings. Thank you for any info you may give. Carl T Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I may still have the graphics file I used to create the decal. Yours if you want it! Les (Friendly Airplane Asylum flack) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phoenix 54 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) Hi Les, I may still have the graphics file I used to create the decal. Yours if you want it! If Carl T (a.k.a. p-26luvr) doesn't want it, could i have it please? Curious, what paint did you use for the body colour? I was lucky, had an old tin of Humbrol Napoleonic French Blue.

Best regards, Paul Well...looks like I either ditched the 6PS insignia file after I built the model, or it was on my computer that I had to do a factory restart on. So, hava-no. The fuselage is Floquil Great Northern Big Sky Blue. Les (Friendly Airplane Asylum flack) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
