After carving the wood, the Curtis P-6 Hawk mahogany model airplane will undergo stages of fine sanding, between primer coats, to produce a silky smooth finish ready for final painting. The P6 Hawk model airplane will be painted according to the specific color scheme of the Curtiss P-6E Hawk biplane for their historical significance and authenticity.


The Curtiss P-6 Hawk was an American pursuit aircraft that was operated by the United States Army Air Corps. The Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company, which became the Curtis-Wright Corporation July 15, 1929, supplied the USAAC with P-6's starting in that year. The P-6 series of aircraft had 13 distinct sub-types of 8 different models, A-H, (although the C model conversion was cancelled before completion). The U.S. Army Air Corps placed an order for 18 P-6s in 1929. The P-6 was another modification of the basic P-1; in this case the P-1B.

Originally designated the Y1P-22, it was later redesignated the P-6E because of the similarity to the other P-6 series airplanes. The P-6E was never used in combat, but it is perhaps the best-known of all the "between wars" Army pursuit aircraft. Despite its excellent performance, only 46 P-6E's were ordered because of the shortage of funds for the Air Corps during the austere days of the depression.
