Revell 1:72 Boeing P 26A (approx' 1966 vintage)

[colin m]

My little 2 shillings and six pence (1966 price) is finished.
It's a rough kit, lots of bits were oversized, so I binned them and made new. I though the decals were going to be good, but turned out a bit of a pain, I can't complain, they were about 50 years old.

Well if nothing, it certainly adds some colour to my model shelves.

Lovely little build colin , a tricky paint and decal job in this scale ! Looks fantastic

Great job Colin, turned this old kit into an attractive display.

Thanks all for having a look. Actually, it's not such a bad build, sure bits are out of scale (you may not have noticed the 'subtle' rivets) but for 17 ½p, you can't really grumble too much.

What a super little thing and you have really made this old kit come alive.

Nice one Col!

Did you keep the box for its antique value?

Nice one Col!

Did you keep the box for its antique value?

Yes I did. I have only ever kept two boxes, this tiny Boeing P26A and a Convair B36. Opposite ends of the spectrum for sure.

Sorry Colin, I missed this.
What a cracking little aircraft, and yes, colourful too.
Nice one.

It would save a bit of space if you could do a 'Doctor Who' and put the Convair box inside the P-26 box ......
