my progress on special hobby's 1/72 p-36 (lots of pics)

Modeling Subjects Aircraft

my current build takes me somewhere i havent been. a very small, limited run a/c. i have been working on this bird for about two weeks. it will be a nmf build from the 15 pg out of hawaii, dec 7 1941 with two confirmed kills. paints used so far are testors enamels and acrylics, model master enamels and acyrilics, and zynolyte enamels.

this build has had ups and downs, the pit made of resin and pe went together like a dream, the fuse was a bear to put toether. it was warped, horrible fit. it took a lot of pushing and prodding to get it into shape.

warning some pics are horrible

first the cockpit.

now some of the progress on the fuse.

and painted

well that is where i am. sorry about the length.

Thanks for sharing! How do you find Special Hobby’s kits? Their Pucara is nice but the fit not so nice. I had the same problem with the ER-2 kit (which I temporarily shelved!)

duke thankyou for the kind words. i just wish i would have caught the gear problem before it set. one of the gear was shorter than the other. didnt catch it until i got ready to paint.
