Williams Brothers Curtiss F9C Sparrowhawk
Hi All, This is is the Williams Brothers 1/32 Curtiss Sparrowhawk. The kit went together well. The only tricky bit is the area where the upper wing meets the fuselage. Compound curves and gaps induce some modelling skills. I was really happy with the finished model. I am not as happy with the lighting for the photos. I will have to work on this for future posts. Hope you all enjoy the pictures.
Excellent 'Hawk, Haslam! The rigging looks great!
Thanks Jeff, It took a few attempts to get all the rigging in a similar state of tension!
wonderful job on this old parasite fighter and antique model almost never seen...i can just see her hooking up with the Macon or Akron dirigibles
Thanks Bob, A plane with a sky hook. I couldn't resist.
Nicely done Haslam, she really looks great.
Good lookin' build, sir ... welcome to iModeler and a great first posting. 🙂
Welcome, looks great.
Having built this difficult kit myself, I really appreciate the excellent result you achieved here. Very nice work!
Thanks Tom

You are welcome, Haslam. With work like this I’m hoping you share more soon.
Very nice! Love the obscure subject - nice yellow-wings scheme. Rigging looks great. Great model.

That's a beauty Haslam. If I ever get around to building mine I sure hope it looks that nice. Well done!
