Product Description

From the Manufacturer

This is an Academy 1/72 scale plastic model kit. When the requirements for the P-40 were formulated, no prospect of high-altitude enemy attack against the U.S.A was envisaged, so that coastal defence and ground attack were the main tasks indicated. Low-altitude flying qualities and rugged construction therefore received priority, and, in fact, the P-40 was subsequently to prove itself an excellent ground-attack weapon. But at the time of the Japanese attack on pearl Harbour this fighter was already approaching obsolescence, despite having been in production for less than two years. Nevertheless, between 1940 and 1944, when acceptances were terminated, a total of 13,738 P-40 fighters were delivered to the U.S.A.A.F., the peak number in service being 2,499 in April 1944. The P-40 was a relatively clean design, and was unusual for its time in having a fully retractable tail-wheel. One hundred and ninety-seven P-40s were built in 1939-40 for the U.S.A.A.F., and many more were sold abroad to Britain and France. In the R.A.F., which service purchased 140 outright, it was knows as the Tomahawk MK.I, IA, and IB. This "C" model carries the markings of the plane flown by Charles Older, of the 3rd Squadron, "Hell's Angels", AVG, based at Kunming, China in the spring of 1942. The 1/72 model kit contains 46 components, fully engraved panel lines, weapons, and the landing gear can be optionally modeled up or down.

3.0 out of 5 stars For the model airplane buff, February 7, 2007
By 
Theresa Ridley (Milwaukee, WI - USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Academy Curtiss P-40B Tomahawk (Toy)
There was not enough information given in the description. I bought the item based on the appearance for my grandson who is into military play things. The airplane is intended for those who are into building model airplanes. This was not stated in the description. Having said that, if this is your main focus then I'm sure it will serve your purpose. It is an adequate size - not too small for older fingers. My grandson is only four and it is not suitable for his age group. Rather than return it I will put it away and save it for a rainy day when he is older. The item did arrive promptly and in good condition.
