We take a look inside the box of Arma Hobby’s latest 1\/72 scale kit: the Curtiss H-75 A1\/A2 (kit number 70080). This is a beautiful American design, one of the top fighters of the beginning of World War II, which achieved its greatest fame fighting in French colours. In the US Army Air Corps – as the P-36 – these aircraft actively fought for only about an hour (!!!) during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. By then, in the third year of the war, they were obsolete and were being replaced in combat units by another legendary Curtiss design – the famous P-40 with in-line engine. But two years earlier, under the skies of France, it was a great fighter!<\/p>\n

The first kit we offer of this aircraft allows you to build a model in the French colours of 1939-40 – when they fought against the German invaders.<\/p>\n

Among the three colour schemes are one early 1939, in natural metal finish, one early war in large camouflage patches from 1939\/1940 and a third, from the very end of the fighting in the skies of France in June 1940 (it was on this aircraft that the famous Polish ace Jan Zumbach flew!). Although the aircraft are from two different production versions, A1 and A2, apart from the paintwork they do not differ, as the early Curtiss H-75A2s had, like the A1s, single guns on the wings.<\/p>\n
