Re: Hobbycraft 1/48 P-26A
Thanks guys! Sometimes a hare brained out of the box idea actually works…
"Surely I have made my meaning plain? I intend to avenge myself upon you, Admiral. I have deprived your ship of power, and when I swing 'round, I intend to deprive you of your life."

Re: Hobbycraft 1/48 P-26A
Thanks Stuart. Aside from the Buffalo, I’ve also been working on this bird a bit. I primed the cockpit area (along with other selected parts that will need that later) in Tamiya White Liquid Surface Primer. Then after allowing that to dry overnite, this morning i painted that area in Vallejo Model Air Aluminum.
I’ll let this all dry overnite before I begin detail painting.

Re: Hobbycraft 1/48 P-26A
Thanks Stuart. The cockpit is fairly well detailed. Especially when you see how small the opening for the pilot is! Leaving the entry hatch open does allow for more of the detailing to be seen, so that’s while I’ll be doing.
In between bouts of working on my F2A today, I was doing detail painting in the cockpit here. I also installed the machine gun receivers onto the decking
Now it just needs a wash in there to make the details stand out better

That looks great!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
Re: Hobbycraft 1/48 P-26A
That's coming along really nicely!
