Curtiss F9C-2 Sparrowhawk 9058

2,113 Turdy1  8.6 years ago

Bureau Number 9058 was the third production Sparrowhawk to serve aboard the Navy's airships. It was painted with true blue section markings. 9058 was lost when the USS Macon crashed off the coast of California in 1935.

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.
