This looks like the export version with Wright Cyclone with short nose as used in the Netherlands East Indies.
USAAC P-36 machines had longer nose with P&W Twin Wasp engine.

I would very much like to build that Iranian marked airplane someday. If we can ever confirm the fuselage striping (I would bet your profile is correct) I'm in for that one!

I've always had in the back of my mind to build one of the fixed-gear Hawks that the Chinese Nationalists purchased.

A very interesting aircraft type operated by many nations!

Post by: Profa on March 09, 2011, 11:14:02 AM
That's definitely Chinese... :-ok
My aim was always to build a colourful example in "confusion or distortion" cammo scheme from 27th pursuit squadron, although French samples are interesting as well...
There's a nice photo of demonstrator A-5 for China, and also the iranian A-9 sample, in the book Wydawnictwo Militaria n°103 - Curtiss 75 Hawk vol.1

Portugal received from the UK a small number of Hawks (called Mohawks by the British) as thanks for using their harbours and airports by the UK. There still was a regular airline between Lisboa and Croydon during the war!
Also merchand and passenger ships had regular routes from UK to Portugal and back.
It was not without risk. Some ships were torpedoed by U-boats and some civil aircraft were shot down or damaged by German fighters.

British sample. I am not sure about the letters colors, any idea?
Title: Re: Curtiss Hawk 75
Post by: Second Air Force on May 02, 2011, 06:37:05 PM
The tone on the codes and fin flash red stripe certainly look the same. I wondered about the darker grey they used on some airplanes, but I lean toward red as you've painted it.
Title: Re: Curtiss Hawk 75
Post by: No.1 on May 02, 2011, 06:42:46 PM
In one period they used mixed grey but later was replaced in most cases with medium grey, used at bottom.

I have been thinking about building a fixed-gear Hawk in Chinese markings but now I might be leaning toward this Dutch machine!  :-love What would everyone think of a P-36/Hawk Group Build later this year?
Title: Re: Curtiss Hawk 75

I would like, just to get any kit of this machine
Title: Re: Curtiss Hawk 75
Post by: draken35 on May 04, 2011, 04:34:38 PM
As I have to build the MustHave! Mohawk, I'm interrested but it should be not too late in the year... Or I can also build my "Belgian what-if"...
Title: Re: Curtiss Hawk 75
Post by: Second Air Force on May 04, 2011, 05:28:31 PM
Do we yet have a subject for June or July GBs? We could schedule the Mohawk for then so you could get the MustHave! kit done, or you could do it on a separate thread if need be.

Thank you mate ;) Now I have problem- what is inscription on the tail? I guess that overall color is RLM 02 Grau?
Title: Re: Curtiss Hawk 75
Post by: Second Air Force on May 06, 2011, 07:35:16 AM
The first word under the swastika sort of looks to be "Curtiss" but I can't make sense of the rest.
Title: Re: Curtiss Hawk 75
Post by: No.1 on May 06, 2011, 07:48:41 AM
Thank you mate... hope we will found out what this could be as well few profiles left to be made.
Title: Re: Curtiss Hawk 75
Post by: Second Air Force on May 06, 2011, 08:10:56 AM
Could the second word be an abbreviation for Habicht? Also the two figures just below what may say "Curtiss" look somewhat like "75" which would also make sense. I'll look through all of my Curtiss photos (I just happened to find some material yesterday) to see if I can offer a more educated opinion on this.

Excellent subject matter, as always. It's crazy how many nations flew this little fighter.

I'm reshaping the Wright-equipped cowling ring for the 1/48 Hobbycraft kit in preparation for our GB later this spring. Keep the great profiles coming!

One of the most underexposed fighters of WW2. Looking good, though a little too speckly too my taste.
