History:
The Curtiss H‑75, an export version of the P‑36 Hawk, served with Allied air forces in the early years of WWII. Known for its sturdy build and reliable engine, it flew with the RAF and AAF before being replaced by more advanced fighters. The Arma Hobby kit reflects the classic pre‑war airframe with attention to detail in cockpit and surface structure.
