| Dale1416 | Dumas Kit #319, Sparrowhawk | Parked | 17-Apr-10 16:34 |  | | Views : 1086 | | This Curtis Hawk is a walnut scale by Dumas aircraft. Walnut scale = all wing spans are 17 1/2". these Dumas kits feature laser cut parts and come in 22 different airplane model kits, but cost more than the 500 series Guillows. They are light weight, rubber powered flying models with very little scale detail - such as no instrument panel, scale propeller, etc. I usually add extra stringers and it is fun to add scale details. |
