Historical Information – P-36 Hawk

The Curtiss P-36 Hawk is an American fighter aircraft used mainly during World War II, especially by the air forces of the United States, France, Finland, and the United Kingdom. This aircraft played a significant role in the early stages of the conflict, for example in the Battle of France (1940), when French air forces used it intensively against the Luftwaffe. The Academy 1:48 scale model faithfully reproduces the silhouette of this aviation icon from 1938-1944.
