Default RE: P-26 Peashooter

The P-26 Pea Shooter was thirties fighter by Boeing and was named because the gun sight was a long tube forward from the windshield that resembled a kids pea shooter. It was fast, for its day, and very nimble. The first all metal monoplane fighterfor the U.S. One group had theirs painted blue, red, white and yellow. Very colorful aircraft. With a four stroke radial engine it will be a doll. Narrow NACA cowl and full skirted gear much like a GeeBee R-1. If you want to be in the Warbird scene it's a good start.
