members here is my completed replica of 2nd lt. phillip rasmussen’s p-36a, credited for one victory during the attack, december 7, 1941. as in the weeks prior to the attack there were a great number of inspections i chose not to weather this bird.
the paints are model master enamels and acrylics, testor enamel and acrylics, tamiya acrylics, and a non hobby brand enamel. just to refresh this is special hobby’s 1/72 p-36a.
thanks for letting me share.

Nice job, Joe! I didn’t know that P-36’s had ANY victories at Pearl on the 7th.
I salute you, Joe. She looks great. Personally I prefer them nice and clean and shiny, and that one looks good.
Looks good after reading about him in aviation history mag I’ve always wanted to build his aircraft.
Nice job Joe. Good looking little Mohawk. Thanks for sharing.
Regards, Rick
Looks very nice mate. Thanks for sharing.
wow… my connection is really slow tonight… I posted but it timed out and I had to do this 3 times…
Anyway… Nice job on that aircraft Joe!!! and an interesting subject to model it from… I will have to read more about the young Lt… didn’t know a P-36 was in the kill list for the day…
Thanks for sharing!!!
P.S. better you than me tackling that NMF… silver and I aren’t on speaking terms on a fuselage…
Great looking airplane! Where did you get the decals for her from?
Nice job on the little bird, fightnjoe ! The finish is realistically metallic. It looks like a mainstream, rather than limited-run kit. Bet you got to exercise your basic skills on the kit !
Well done !
I agree with PIX. The natural metal finish is very good. Great job, Joe.
That bird looks cool, Joe. Great job.
Sweet bird joe. Love the finish

Salute…Joe
Great finish ! ! ! ! ! !
paul, scott, mkhoot, rick, daniel, tho9900, richard, pix, dwight, dj, jeff, and rik thankyou all for your kind words.
paul this is kind of a confusing issue. some sources say this bird has two victories some say one. it just happened that the one i chose said one. one thing is certain, p-36’s did get in the air and did inflict some damage on japanese a/c.
mkhoot this is a good little kit but a beginner would have some issues with it. i had plenty of issues with it.
tho9900 the nmf was pretty easy on this one. just point and click. i used a bristle brush for the non hobby brand (wouldnt flow through the ab) and sprayed testors silver. was pleasantly suprised with the results. there were at least two p-36’s with kills that day. 2nd lt. harry winston brown is reported to have two victories also.
richard the decals were in the kit. along with a bit of history on it. this bird is also in p-40 detail and scale. lots of good pics in that book.
pix i was able to excercise more skills than i thought i had. at times this kit was a trying affair.
again i thankyou for your kindness.
joe
Way to go Joe. Neat looking build, Thanks for the pics
Thad
great lookin ,Joe my man.
unique ,interesting markings and a histury lesson too.
Does the Special Hobby kit offer much improvement over the old Monogram 1/72 P-36?
Lovely bird mate, lovely bird!
Keep up the excellent work.
