Update primed and assembled main parts, first coat for yellow wings, The fit is not bad but needed to dry fit and sand for a good fit on the fuselage and wing fit. Also major flash on the port wing root that needed to be removed. Also needed to sand off Revell copyright mark on the bottom of the port wing

Masked wings and tailplane and painted the USAF Olive drab base coat on the model and assembled all sub assemblies onto decals next.

Decals applied, worked out with multiple applications of Microsol and Microset and then Solveset. The landing spats were very stubborn and I had to touch them up with Posco white and black paint pens. I lost the 4 of the 34 on the belly somewhere on my workbench and I had to source some buzz numbers from my decal stash. Rigging next.

Thank you Moreno it's a good build for such an old mold and the scheme makes it.

The completed model with rigging and pin wash in control surfaces, A fun build for such an inexpensive and old model

Wonderful build Joseph! How did you realised the rigging? I have a Breda 27m, very similar to this, that still needs the final rigging

Good job, Joseph! Makes me think about assembling the 1/32 Hasegawa kit of this beautiful plane... 😉

Thamks Moreno I used 26 gauge black wire for the wings and landing gear. And black elastic cord for the antenna wires .

Thank you Robert it was a fun build I think it would be spectacular in 1/32 scale. I saw the model in your stash I love the blue fuselage

Revell P-26A 1/72 OOB Build

Update primed and assembled main parts, first coat for yellow wings, The fit is not bad but needed to dry fit and sand for a good fit on the fuselage and wing fit.

I wanted a break from a large project so I decided to do an OOB build of a vintage Revell kit
I bought this kit a long time ago so long ago it cost $5.50 at the time. I find the P-26 a rather ungainly looking aircraft with a great color and marking scheme.

Although some of the parts are separated from the sprues they all seem to me there, my only concern is how well the decals held up, I will spray them with a clear coat before trying to use them.

Its an old mold so we will see how well it goes together.
