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. |

Added guns , under wing landing gear humps, and paper exhaust . The model balances out with the plastic prop and is very light . |

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. |
