                        She saw some of the other women posting their first models and asked me why I hadn't done that for her...so after profuse apologies-- I got the camera out and here they are. I have built over 30 and still cannot get such a nice paint job....she did no masking-- I wish my hands were this steady.

                        Once again, great work, Mrs. Jeeves! The colors on that P-26 are fantastic! About time Jeeves posted them. LOL.

                        Sweet ! Those between-the-wars planes were so attractive. What's the kit & scale? When you say "steady hands," are you saying this was painted with a brush?
                        Fantastic work !

                        Yes it was Pix.... just got an airbrush for Christmas.....Janice did it all by hand. As I said in another thread-- she credits all those years of doing her nails for her skill. It's a 1:48 scale...and it's either Academy or Hobbycraft... I can't remember offhand Sad [:(]

                        It's an Academy kit-beautiful job! I wish there were more Curtiss hawks, etc. on the market
                        Did she use decals for the markings-I couldn't get mine to "behave"?

                        Yes....I remember the nose bands giving her trouble-- but she seems to have figured it out Wink [;)]

                        She started a P-36 Hawk soon after this, but then when she got pregnant- she didn't want to be near the fumes...although now that our daughter's had her In and Out Day, I am not sure what her excuse is LOL

                        Please tell Mrs Jeeves that her P-26 is just beautiful. I really like planes with yellow wings. There is just something about that era of flight.
