This new decal sheet from Starfighter Decals includes markings for 2 unique P-26s from Wheel Field in the 1930s. Both aircraft carried Gold markings. Starfighter Decals had to guess at the Serial Numbers, but these schemes were too good to pass up. You can do both aircraft using this sheet, but will need extra National Insignia to complete the second aircraft's markings.

Special thanks goes to Mark Tutton, Dave Ostrowski and Mike Lampros. 

The 2 aircraft include colorful pre-war paint schemes. 

  • Boeing P-26A Peashooter U.S.A.A.C. at Wheeler Field Hawaii Serial number 33-1.

  • Boeing P-26A Peashooter U.S.A.A.C. at Wheeler Field Hawaii Serial number 33-2.

The 2 pages of instructions are clear and include color views of all areas of each aircraft.  The decals are beautifully printed on 1 decal sheet with wingtip decals.  The paint schemes of both of these aircraft includes gold stripes and these gold stripes are very well represented on the decal sheet.  Each plane also feature artwork (Squadron artwork?).  It is good to see these Peashooters that were based in Hawaii in the 1930's.
