Curtiss Hawk II Cuba
Hello
I would like to show my newest model. Well known Curtiss Hawk II ( export version) used in Cuban Air Force and famous from "Cuban eight" maneuver made by Len Povey. This kit is Maciej Lewan ( Fitter ) project, issued by GPM like two more Hawk's - Curtiss F-11 C-2 Goshawk and floatplane version used in Peru. Building was not so simply as I thought before start. Rigging was awful becouse i used hairy strand. Looks terrible now. Undercarriage, especially these impressive pair of slippers was the most difficult moments. And you could see that by your own eyes. Yea... But... Now I have my own Hawk!

A great RIGGING TIP! Go to a store that sells fabric and sewing supplies get some WHITE ELASTIC THREAD. It is cloth tread with an elastic core. You color the thread first with colored markers to whatever color you like, then when you glue it place stretch it slightly and let it dry under tension. Your rigging will stay taught, look GREAT
