Curtis Hawk 81

by Scott Nelson on October 5, 2022 · in Aviation — 13 Comments

A nice little Flying Tiger from Airfix. The soft plastic made the removal of the small bits from the tree a bit tricky. But with extra care I had no mishaps. On the other hand, as careful as I tried to be, I still ended up breaking off two [...]
