One of the neatest looking airplanes of the WWII era, and one I have read very little about. This is from the Nov 1974 issue of American Aircraft Modeler. If y'all want the rest of the article I can provide it.
Curtiss SC-1 Seahawk

Nice plane but still like the Kingfisher more.
For any gearhead that likes ww2 aviation, the SC is a most interesting aircraft. The only Allied aircraft with a closely-coupled turbocharger, the installation being possible due to the turbine having the hollow air cooled blades. About 1000 of such turbochargers were manufactured, almost all of them installed in the SCs. No SC is preserved today, and we don't have any primary docs (beyond the archives?) to allow us a better look at the particular installation of the whole powerplant.

In case that you feel brave....
What i would like to know is what the interior "bunk" looked like. Evidently there was a space inside, I assume behind and below the cockpit, for say a rescued pilot or mariner to reside, but I have never seen even an entrance to it.
Me too, now you've mentioned it, Jim (two years ago!). I know precious little about this aircraft, but it's a looker.

Although, It's a pretty looking float plane, if you see it on it's optional wheel landing gear and tail hook, It could be a design from a certain central European country.
If it's anything like his Grumman Goose, the Signifer 1/48 scale SeaHawk is a really nice kit.

I know this is an old thread but I'm a new member and the plane is beautiful.
I think the SC-2? had the bed...
