Curtiss Wright CW-21B Demon

By James Merrigan

Here is my Curtiss Wright CW-21B Demon. The model was bashed out of the following: a Revell 1/32nd Corsair, a Hasegawa 1/32nd Fw 190A, Monogram 1/48th C-47, a 1/32nd Hasegawa Oscar, and a Revell Curtiss P-40. You figure out which kit supplied what part. The Demon really only saw combat late 1941, early 1942 in the Dutch East Indies hence the markings. It was under powered, under armed with no self sealing tanks, it was not a success. My source for general arrangement drawings was Curtiss Aircraft 1907-1947 by Peter M. Bowers.
