Here is my completed Classic Airframes 1/48 P-12E.














and next to my P-36 peashooter:


The rigging wires are 0.3mm styrene rod. Gunsight is brass tubing. I modelled the landing gear in the "flying" position; where the pivoting spreader-bar axle is bent to absorb landing impact.

Thanks for looking.

Mike,
Nice finish! The post WW1 period offers some spectacular colour schemes and this is no exception.Also have to say the P-26 is not too shabby either, beautiful job on it as well.
Hope you'll start another thread soon, been a pleasure following you along.
Cheers,
Lance

Nice model, well done. I was struck looking at it how similar it is to the I-15
