P-40M/N Warhawk – Academy 12465

Modified from the Curtiss P-36 Hawk, the P-40 Warhawk took to the skies in 1938. Warhawk was the US designation, while the British Commonwealth and Soviets used the Tomahawk designation for their P-40B and C variants and then the Kittyhawk designation for their P-40Ds and later variants. The P-40 served with the British in North Africa and the Middle East early in WWII. Although the aircraft lacked a 2-speed supercharged engine compared to Germanys fighters at the time, the P-40 proved itself a mighty low-altitude fighter. The production life of the P-40 resulted in nearly 12,000 aircraft. This Academy kit with over 50 plastic parts faithfully recreates the P-40M or P-40N Warhawk fighter as seen later in the war in 1:72 scale. The fully assembled model is 13.2cm long and 4.8cm tall.
