Here is my second submission on ARC. It is the 1/72 scale P35A "Philippine Defender" from Special Hobby. A I love the P47, I have decided to build his ancestors, just to show the evolution of Seversky's concept. So, after a P 43 from Pavla, I have built out of the box this kit. It was a pleasant task and I found Special Hobby in great progress!

P35 A 23

The model has been painted with acrylics: Tamiya Neutral Gray and Flat Aluminium, Gunze Yelow and Olive Drab. Underneath, I used a base of alumiunm from Prince August.

As I found a photo of the real "23" P35 A, showing a quite weathered aircraft, my own challenge was trying to reproduce it as best as I could.

I hope you'll appreciate.

Best regards,

Didier Mayeur
