A brief history of the model:
The Boeing P-26, affectionately nicknamed the “Peashooter,” was the first all-metal monoplane fighter to serve with the U.S. Army Air Corps, introduced in the early 1930s. It bridged the gap between the biplane era and modern military aviation, featuring fixed landing gear and an open cockpit. Though quickly outpaced by faster designs, the P-26 was notable for its colourful livery, nimble handling, and historic role in early air defence.
