About product

Curtiss F11C-2 Hawk 1:72 (RS Models)

An injection-molded plastic model of the American carrier biplane fighter Curtiss F11C-2 Hawk (also known as the Goshawk) in 1:72 scale from the Czech brand RS Models. It is a short-run kit with a finely engraved surface and clear parts; the box is usually completed by decals for several colorful prewar finishes of US naval squadrons. The compact biplane is a rewarding project for lovers of interwar aircraft.

The real subject

The F11C-2 was a carrier fighter and light bomber biplane of the US Navy from the first half of the 1930s, powered by a Wright radial engine. Among other things it operated from the deck of an aircraft carrier and became famous for the colorful, strikingly bright markings of the prewar fleet. It was later redesignated BFC-2 and was among the last fighter biplanes of the US Navy.

Building and painting tips

On a short-run biplane it pays to dry-fit the parts and clean up the flash; the molds have no locating pins. The key point is the precise seating of the interplane struts and the upper wing — expect rigging (bracing wires), which is best made from stretched sprue or elastic thread after painting. Glue with cement for plastic and the small parts with cyanoacrylate; apply the colorful schemes with an airbrush and careful masking.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of interwar and prewar American naval aircraft in 1:72 scale
  • Those interested in carrier fighter biplanes
  • More experienced builders with experience of rigging and short-run kits
  • Fans of colorful prewar finishes for the display case

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Yes, it is a carrier fighter biplane; for a faithful look it is worth adding the bracing wires (rigging), which are not normally part of the plastic.

Because of its short-run character and the rigging it is recommended for more experienced modelers.

The aircraft was later redesignated BFC-2 and was among the last fighter biplanes of the US Navy.
