Dear Edward, Bruce and Patryk, thanks for your interest and support!
Applying decals is becoming a sort of nightmare because some of them dissolve in water (maybe they are too old 🙂 )
Fortunately I have some spare decals 😉 : tomorrow I'll post an update 😉
It's a shame the stripes fell apart. Could you be tempted to take than off and hand paint them instead? The colours scheme is very eye catching.
Yes Bruce, today I tried to apply more stripes but it's almost impossible...I'll go on masking with tape and painting them 🙂

Going a bit off piste with this one Guy. Zumbach's brief mount Hawk 75A-2 No107 was captured and sold on to Finland becoming CU-556 so I'm doing half and half. Photos to follow. 
Really interesting combination of liveries Gary, strangely it seems to work, almost as if the time is when the Finns had taken the aircraft and had only half painted it so far...🙂
Yes. I'm much more satisfied with the Finnish side as I really can't seem to crack these French Color combos. Not sure if I'll do one like this again though. 
Very nice work on this machine, love the two different shemes you did, very clever work
this being a Curtiss ..I not certain and I'm curious if it was manufactured in Buffalo NY ?
Hello @Mona I can't say definitively but it does look like all the french Hawks were Buffalo produced and shipped to France as kits to be assembled at Bourges. 
Great finish, Gary! Would definitely like to see some more pics in better light.
Thanks Guys. Will do. Need to catch up on a few really. Arsenal, Curtiss, Comanche.

@Cuajete: the kit is overall bad news but I am now stuck with 5 more ?, the subject is what keeps me going. I hope that Clear Prop! will issue the P-36 ASAP as they have the hawk 75 in the works. @Łukasz: I hope that the climax didn't dissapoint?
Sanded the cowling smooth and rescribed it. Added the exhausts. The instructions are vague on the locations of them so did have to check references in order to locate them as correct as possible. The panel lines are also incorrect on the lower cowling so another filling ans sanding session awaits.
