French Curtiss Hawk

Print Scale offers a couple of nice decal sheets for the 1/72 Hawk 75 as well.
 
The Hobby Crap kit was the first one I built when I got back into modeling. UGH... I also built one a couple of years back with a resin pit and engine... ugh...

Why the 'ugh'? I built several simply because of David Veres' involvement in the decal selection. He asked, and I delivered, as many obscure markings as I could. Yes, the kit was crap but the 75M/N/Q were all wonderful in my eyes! Especially the Thai 75N. I did change the barrels for white metal ones I took from a Fokker D.XXI kit from Classic Airframes. The person I built it for didn't care, as much as I did, that the engine was severely undersized to fit into the oval cowling instead of the correct diameter with the front fuselage widening to meet the circular cowling, Clear Prop has this corrected on their kits.
 
In hindsight it was not a good choice for my first kit back. I have seen several built and they were all quite nice. This was long before I discovered all the wonderful "online" forums, IPMS, EweTube etc.

None the less, I am still Jazzed about the new Arma Hobby kit.
