Curtiss F9C-2 Sparrowhawk 9057

2,113 Turdy1  8.6 years ago

Bureau Number 9057 was the second F9C-2 Sparrowhawk manufactured and was painted with white section markings. After a pair of accidents in 1935, 9057 was salvaged for parts and stricken from the Navy register.

Notes:
All six Sparrowhawks I've uploaded are made to the correct size as the originals, but feature retractable landing gear to compensate for the lack of removable, spatted gear used on the originals, and they have their guns moved to the wings, as the game lacks synchronized guns.
