1/72 NAF-18 Esoteric Curtiss F6C-4 Marine Hawk
Multimedia Model Kit
The Marine Hawk was the final production version of the venerable aircraft. The addition of the Pratt & Whitney R-1340 engine made the aircraft lighter and more maneuverable than the liquid cooled versions. These aircraft were assigned to land based Marine squadrons. The -4 Hawks finished there service life in Pensacola, FL in a training roll. Also, these machines were used for aerobatic flight displays in a three ship formation, thus the -4 is responsible for creating the foundation of the Blue Angels Demonstration Team. Includes metal parts - decals for multiple aircraft - shaped struts and full instructions. Never started and 100% complete. Esoteric was known for making perhaps the finest vacuform kits. The moldings are crisp and have fine recessed detail - better than many injection molded kits. Every part needed to complete the kit is included down to the interior.
