AlCZ Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Eduard announcement in Chatanooga contest a complet new tool 1/48 Curtiss Hawk (P-36 & H-75) family. As last coming a early P-40 "Tomahawk" - and mayebe whole P-40 family. I think a Curtiss Hawk with radial engine was a good news. And yup, in early stage of development is a Wildcat. Curtiss H-75 is very important part of Czech or Czechoslovak history, in Battle of France many Czech airman flying this machines against German invaders. So, i´m impressed with this news ! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work In Progress Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 This is good news indeed. It will be excellent to have a series of high quality Hawk 75 / Mohawk options in 1/48. The Hobbycraft kits are highly buildable for modellers who don't expect everything done for them, but they do need work, and are really hard to find now. And there are so many great colour schemes from so many countries. But could you clarify -- have they actually announced Tomahawks (P-40) or just the P-36 / H75 family? In itself that will run to many variations once they've accounted for the different radial engines, the fixed-gear and retractable versions and the various more minor changes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Esposito Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Important aircraft in early ww2. Nice to hear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Maas Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Excellent! A very important aircraft, and one that served extensively across many air arms on both sides of WW2. This is a must-have for me, likely the inevitable Finnish Limited Edition boxing that Eduard will no-doubt make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk 75's in Finnish service scored 190 1/3 kills for 15 losses and were re-armed with heavier guns later in the Continuation War(1-2 .50's and 2-4 .303's was the typical fit after re-arming, vs 4-6 7.5mm guns that they were initially fitted with in French or Norwegian service). they would see service until 1948. The Hawk 75 and Brewster B239E were really the backbone of the Ilmavoimat until the 109's arrived. Edited August 10, 2019 by Adam Maas 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Esposito Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Thanks. The much maligned Brewster Buffalo was a great fighter in the very capable hands of the Finns! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows the (obvious German previous ownership) and the white winter wash applied by the Finns. The rest of it is apparently in store so could be the Jerry Yagen one seeing as he already has an NZ connection with the Mossie he owns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEMPESTMK5 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Good morning Great news I hope Eduard will downscale it to 1/72 soon .. Patrice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlCZ Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 But this is a probably far future release. Another new type (when you don't count sub version of Bf 109 & Mustang) in "near future" was "early Merlin Powered Spitfire). I can' t wait for state of art 1/48 Spitfire Mk. V ! So, i think a downscaled Hawk was too far... IMHO - I personaly want a H-75 French air force in BoF only... because Czechoslovaks fighter pilots... Another release can me make cold...as many Bf 109 & Bf 109 variants in last time Tomahawk & Warhawk was for me most attractive (RAF,USAAF, VVS, Free French etc...many colorful camos with sometimes real huge nose arts and shark mouths) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobo Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Can't wait for these kits. The marking options are almost limitless. This is great news and thank you Eduard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hobbycraft kit is quite buildable and certainly a better effort in terms of accuracy than the early P-40s that Hobbycraft did. Also, the Eduard kit is vapourware at the moment, who knows how long it will be before we see it in the plastic. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas V. Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 (edited) Both have been announced as work in progress on Czech forums several years ago, both P-36 and P-40B, Wildcat is a novelty. So far Mr.Sulc announced as work in progress following... Early Merlin Spitfires and Seafires Hurricane Mustang Mosquito F4U-1 MiG-15 New Fw 190D Me 262 Mig-21F-13/UM F-4 Phantom ( was cancelled?)

Eduard will be (rightfully) milking the P-51D/K/F-6 variants for a year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlCZ Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 Parts for P-51D/K you have in Chatanooga Cho Cho L.E. - prop and Dallas canopy are included, "spy" F-6 was released later, with new tool fuselage, camera etc… But when you can build fighter-bomber D/K you can, now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
