Print Scale 72-090 Decal Boeing P-26 Peashooter Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-090 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1:72 scale aircraft plastic model kits representing the Boeing P-26 Peashooter, an early American monoplane fighter aircraft. This decal set provides a selection of historically researched markings for multiple P-26A aircraft used by United States Army Air Corps and other service units during the interwar and early Second World War period.

The Boeing P-26 Peashooter was one of the first all-metal monoplane fighters to enter operational service with the United States Army Air Corps during the 1930s. With its fixed landing gear and open cockpit, the P-26 was typical of the transitional generation of fighters between biplanes and the modern monoplane designs that would dominate later in World War II. The type also saw service with allied air units in the Pacific, including Philippine Army Air Corps units prior to and at the onset of the Pacific conflict.

The decals are printed on thin carrier film to support precise placement on the clean lines of the Peashooter’s airframe and control surfaces. This set is compatible with any 1:72 scale plastic model kit of the Boeing P-26 and is recommended for advanced modelers due to the variety of marking options and historical schemes offered.
