Curtiss P-6E Hawk Almost-Ready-To-Fly .60-.1.20 Sport Biplane

    The Curtiss P-6E Hawk was one of the most beautiful biplanes ever created and the very last biplane fighter the Army ever ordered. By the time it was introduced, the era of flamboyant trim schemes and fabric-covered wood biplanes was rapidly giving way to mass production, advanced aerodynamics and all-aluminum skins.

    The last remaining P-6E is in the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C. However, you can still enjoy its graceful lines and vibrant colors at your local field with this beautiful, one-of-a-kind ARF.

        * Looks like a scale project that required months of work, but assembles in as little as 15-20 hours. .

        * Catches every eye with its color and size and holds it with a seemingly inexhaustible supply of scale details!

        * Offers all the hallmarks of today’s Great Planes ARFs: interlocking, all-wood strength, paint-matched fiberglass parts and glowing MonoKote colors.

        * Generous accessories package includes numerous scale details and genuine Great Planes hardware.

Seven-color trim scheme

The painted fiberglass cowl.

Scale
Fine-scale details – including hawk and number decals and the painted pilot figure, exhaust stacks and machine guns – add to its realism in the air – and admiration on the ground.
The cowl is generously sized.
The cowl is generously sized — just right for complementing the P-6E's authentic appearance with the added power, scale speeds and throaty sound of a 4-stroke engine.
