The P-40 Warhawk is a quintessential American fighter from World War II, with the P-40E marking the first extensive production run featuring the V-1710 F-series engine. Primarily operating in US Army colors, it saw action across Chinese, Indian, and Pacific theaters, known as the Kittyhawk Mk.IA to the Allies.
Notably, this model represents the P-40E’s deployment in the challenging Aleutian Islands, where both American and Canadian pilots faced harsh weather and terrain, prompting modifications such as sealed exhausts and covered gun barrels on American versions, and specialized antenna systems on Canadian aircraft.
This kit includes two grey plastic frames, a clear parts frame, 3D exhaust and antenna alternatives, and decals for four versions—two American with tiger head insignias and two Canadian with shark teeth designs—offering precise detail, straightforward assembly, and varied camouflage options.
