Never fear, Dave; it's on the 'to do' list of aircraft.
Not nearly enough aerials and other protuberances...

Are there any Curtiss Mohawks left? I know there are some Hawk 75's, but RAF Mohawks?

It doesn't look like it: Goodall lists one P-36 and four H-75s of varying models. |

No, there are no ex-RAF Mohawks surviving intact, but the British Mohawk was a Hawk 75A-4 model initially diverted from French stocks and modified for British use. I do intend to photograph the Fighter Collection example, which is what I meant.

Cool. I wish they'd paint their one in to RAF colours. The Mohawk was an important type in the early part of the India-Burma campaign. There were a lot of RNZAF pilots who flew them, believe it or not, and they even had their own association in New Zealand back in the 1980's.
