An injection-molded plastic kit of the export versions of the American Curtiss Hawk 75 fighter in 1:144 scale from the Czech manufacturer Mark I Models. The boxing combines the British designation Mohawk IV with the export version H-75A-7 and is tied thematically to service outside Europe.

The Curtiss Hawk 75 was a single-engine all-metal low-wing fighter of the second half of the 1930s. The export versions differed from one another mainly in engine and armament, as some of the machines received a radial engine and others an inline one. The designation Mohawk was used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) for the machines it took over from French orders and from its own purchases, and it deployed them mainly outside the European theater. The H-75A-7 version was among the overseas export deliveries. By the time these aircraft were fighting, modern fighters had already overtaken them in performance, but thanks to good handling and undemanding operation they lasted in service surprisingly long.
A compact single-engine model goes together quickly in 1:144, and the snag tends to be elsewhere. The radial engine and the propeller are simplified at this scale and yet very visible, because they make up the whole front silhouette of the model. It pays to give them time: darken the engine cylinders with a very thin wash and bring out the tops with a dry brush, sand the propeller blades thin from the back and gently round the leading edge. Glue the propeller on at the very end, otherwise it will be in your way during varnishing. The leading edges of the wing can be discreetly suggested at a small scale with a thin line of a lighter shade, as heavy chipping would look unconvincing here.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
