Arma Hobby 1/72 Curtiss Hawk 81-A2 Flying Tigers (70094)
This article will tell you more about Arma Hobby 1/72 Curtiss Hawk 81-A2 Flying Tigers (70094). New kit is yet another version of the famous US aircraft in small scale. Previous releases proved to be quite interesting, so it is worth checking what is included in the new one. Well, the name is quite telling here, so you can expect special markings in the box. Overall packaging is classic for this brand, and all frames are packed together in one bag. Let's open all of them and check together.

Watch this video-review where I show all parts even closer.
First frame is dedicated to lower wing half and left fuselage half. Here you can also find top cowling panel and some landing gear parts.
Fuselage halves assembly will be helped with guiding elements, so you don't have to worry about any possible issues. Note also some cockpit features there.
Top wing half and right fuselage half come on the second plastic frame. Tailwing is designed as one-piece part, and would be installed right on top of fuselage.
Yes, kit features 3D-printed parts, well exactly this one which you can see on the photo above. Pilot seat will come handy for some additional features, as there are even seatbelts copied.
Clear frame is packed into separate plastic bag. Molding quality looks great, and you can even open cockpit on your model build.
Pre-cut masks will come handy not only for clear elements, but also for landing gear wheels.
Decals sheet is not that big, but you will get all necessary symbols there. Overall printing quality looks great, and you shouldn't have any issues. All three marking options can be seen on the photo below.
Assembly manual is typical for this brand. I show all pages in the video-review.
New Curtiss kit should be already available for purchase. In my opinion it is as great as other releases from the same brand. You get all necessary things in the standard package, so you just need to pick the marking for your build. Overall quality looks great, and I don't think there will be some issues with build process. The only thing to remember is the scale of this model, as it might be too small for some modelers.
