Curtiss Mohawk series – Raúl Hrubisko
Hi,
I am quite happy with the result of this new series done. It is a not very common aircraft and I believe that we were able to represent many variants of it
As always, we could not make it ourselves but we help from much knowledge people who kindly share with us their photos, information, etc. We would like to especially thank Carl Vincent, Phil Listemann, Stefaan Bouwer, Jagan Pillarisetti, Nicholas Millman and Piet van Schalkwyk.
My father did a great job on these models. He made the following aircraft (18 models):
Curtiss Mohawk III AR633 RG-E 510
Curtiss Mohawk IV BK585 AAE&E 1/11/1940
Curtiss Mohawk IV AX891 4 Takoradi route

That’s a mess of Mohawks! Really cool. What kit(s) did you use?
Hi Jim. My father used different kits like Monogran, heller, hobby craft, ahosima, revell Germany and AML
Do you guys have your own model museum? 🙂
Hi Tom,
Thank you. Actually we have 988 models done so far. We have 2 display cabinets and we are buying a third one.
Cheers

Hi Gary, Thank you very much for your comments.
After doing 62 North American Mustang, this was a short series.
i am working on the P40 series which will be around 100 models. The third largest series after the Spitfire and the Hurricane.

I’ve seen your father’s other collections, my favorite is his Hurricane collection. I am sure this Mohawk collection will be just good. They all look great!
Hi Bob,
Thank you very much for your comments. I am quite exciting right now with our future project about the P40. I am sure that it will also be an interesting series.
Cheers

100 !, even those 18 to me is already a huge amount.
That cabinet picture is awesome, how many of those filled cabinets do you have?

Amazing jobs and presentation, Santiago!
Thank you Spiros. I am glad that you like them.
Wow, that’s impressive. At the speed I build that’s about a century of modeling!
