(SALE)1/32 P-40M WARHAWK FIGHTER

P-40M War Hawk – Trumpeter 02211

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 Germany’s 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 UK P-40M War Hawk Fighter and, when it is fully assembled, measures 32.2cm long and 35.7cm wide.
