Revell 1/72 Boeing P26A

[Bari]

Finished at last. I have to say that I have enjoyed making this cheap kit of few parts more than any other in a long while. For a kit from 1982 it wa a bit basic but just a few small additions made it look a lot better. I need not have done anything to the cockpit walls as they can't be seen but I should have put a instrument panel in as that would have been able to be seen. The decals were a bit of a struggle but with care and a lot of microsol they eventually settled down.

Really nice, Barry. Fantastic scheme, and I love the engine. Looks like you put some work into that rigging, and it paid off.

I really like that, Barry. I remember my Dad building that same kit in its original boxing, it would have been in the late 60s.

many thanks for the nice remarks.It will be a while before I start anything else as I have to go off to France to house sit for a month while my brother goes on holiday. Life is very hard, not only do I have to house sit I also have to look after the chickens and feed the cat.
