| And here I thought I would be getting something new. Sometimes I run out of words in English and have to switch to German. |

| Initially I started off with a lot of curse words and card stock. After about 10 trial and errors I finally got one I liked. |

| The windshields for my PT-19 are coming up soon. How did you get the bends in? |

| Love the P36 - very nice job there! |

The head rest per the plans was two pieces of triangle cut wood and looks noting like the prototype so I carved it from some 1/2 x 1/2 balsa to the profile of the XP-936. The seat appears to be made of canvas on the original. Carved from some balsa then covered in surgical tape to give some texture. Colored with a yellow hi-liter to not fill in the texture. |

| Thanks for the nice words. edtherenderman the laser cut wood was very good. I would have liked to have patterns for the formers and wing ribs in case you need to replace one. It is possible trace one from the die cut sheets. More pictures to follow. |

| That really turned out well! Love the engine!

| Very nice build! I've never built a Dumas kit. How are they? |

| Beauty!! Terrific outcome - I think replicating the prototype is a nice touch too. Chennault is said to have favored the P-26 and it’s easy to see why |

| Very nice, nice details on the radial engine! |

The P-26 is completed and unfortunately I lost the build pictures. I built this as the XP-936 which was the prototype. A lot of changes from the plans and the paint scheme is a little bland but thats the way it left the Boeing factory. The exhaust running into and out of the fuselage did not turn out like I wanted it to look but it is what it is. |

This is the tool a friend made for me to use in painting. |

Painting the tail was a real challenge getting the lines parallel and the same width. Could not use the decal with the kit since I had to resize to get the correct profile. |

| A key component of the P-26 is this engine and speed ring. You’ve done a solid job of replicating the assembly to my eye. Cant wait to see your project outcome. |

| Great job! |
| edtherenderman, Comment for image # 42767 | 21 Oct 20 08:22 |
| Very nice! It's amazing how the small details require so much work, but make so much difference in the model's believability! I'm always challenged by when to stop. This looks like a great balance! |
