This model was created by the late Chip Fyn from the legendary papercraft website Fiddlersgreen. For years I had wanted to create Chinese versions of this model. The Chinese P-26's were special in that way, because in 1937, they were the first full-metal monoplanes to enter into fights with another full-metal monoplane, the Japanese Mitsubishi Claude.
Finally carrying out this plan, I ended up creating a number of other versions I found on Wings Palette. Chip Fyn's son Scott was so generous to publish them on the Fiddlersgreen website to make them available for everyone.
As Fiddlersgreen is not a free site, you will have to buy the P-26 to get these versions. But by doing so you will support that legendary website and ensure its continued existence.
Go to Fiddlersgreen P-26 page.
If you go to the P-26 page at Fiddlersgreen, there is no mention of these versions, but if you buy, you will have the download link:
You may also dowbload this pdf with my suggestions for building that model, which will help you avoid some mistakes I have learned from while building it three times:
