The plastic parts are the already well-known and tested three high-quality Curtiss sprues: two grey and one clear. As always, Arma Hobby provides sharp trailing edges, very fine recessed panel lines, and carefully rendered, varied screws, fasteners, hinges, and panels\u2014an optimally balanced quality and amount of beautiful detail for 1\/72 scale that allows enjoyable assembly of a very accurate, lifelike model, without excessive complications.<\/p>\n
The standard sprues include optional parts for the American versions: an instrument panel with the visible rear section of the .50 cal heavy machine gun, exposed exhaust stacks, shortened landing gear doors, and a few other small bits. The only extra work the modeler will need to do is to fill the wing machine guns, which the P-36A variant did not have.<\/p>\n
First sprue<\/h3>\n
This is a large grey sprue containing the main fuselage and wing components, plus many small details. The even and delicate recessed panel lines are noteworthy. This sprue also includes the shortened, \u201cAmerican\u201d landing gear doors.<\/p>\n

The second release of Arma Hobby\u2019s beautiful Curtiss model in 1\/72 scale is the American P-36A version. It was the first production variant of this aircraft, which began entering service with U.S. fighter units in April 1938. It remained in service until the outbreak of the Pacific War, taking a short but glorious part in the defense of Pearl Harbor in December 1941. Soon afterwards, the last combat P-36s moved to schools and training units, being replaced on the line mainly by P-40s and Airacobras.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/002-43.jpg\")
