Thanks for the info. I'm not wanting to make the p-26 true scale. I have 3-views of the real plane. This kit is no where close.

I'm thinking about adding landing gear blocks in front of the original ones. That way the wheel pants and gear will be more toward the leading edge of the wing. I'm wanting to find pics of a full scale for the markings and placement of them.
Also the p-26 didnt have flying wires on the tail. When you built yours did you use them? I saw a post about useing windshield wiper metal strips for the wing supports. I'm looking in to that.
Thanks
Mark
