SH72484 1/72 Curtiss P-40N Warhawk / Kittyhawk Mk.IV

The P-40 was America's best and most modern fighter early in WW2. There was many variants of the P-40 and it was supplied to many different air forces. In the USAAF it was eventually largely replaced by the likes of the P-38, P-47 and P-51. The P-40N Warhawk was the last P-40 model, it was lighter to help improve performance and agility and the canopy was improved to give the pilots greater all round visibility.

Special Hobby is a Czech based manufacturer and this is their 1/72 P-40KN kit. This is a highly detailed injection moulded plastic kit and probably now the best and most detailed P-40 in 1/72. This is a brand new tool kit and Special Hobby have made this look like a mainstream kit with locating pegs and clean+crisp mouldings.

Markings are provided for 2 different RAAF aircraft.
