P-40E Warhawk – Academy 12468

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-40Bs and Cs. Some fuel tank improvements and armor additions made the P-40C variant even heavier. The P-40 served with the British in North Africa and the Middle East early in WWII. Although the aircraft lacked a 2-speed supercharger 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 model authentically recreates the P-40E War Hawk with four marking options. This Academy kit with over 55 plastic parts faithfully recreates the P-40E Warhawk in 1:72 scale.
