P-6E Curtis hawk (build thread)
#1851

My Feedback: (16)

Well I have found a brother to my first P-6E Hawk at the Dayton Modelrama. On Saturday, second day of swap meet, I found 3, one NIB virgin going for $900. One of the smaller EP versions ready to bind and fly, asking $550 and then the one I picked up with a OS FS120 SE in great shape what looks like just a few flights on it.
I can't wait to give the new addition a quick going over and get in the air and now I'm less afraid of losing one with a second in the hangar.
I'm very surprised this lasted till near end of the show with many hard lookers as I was told and seen at the booth. With two recent Ebay listings for a nib going for $1200 or so, I wish I could,d have got the NIB one also.
just passing on my enthusiasm for this plane and that if you ever run across one, you won't be disappointed.
