• Scale: 1/48
• Original user country: USA and many Allied nations (including Great Britain, USSR, Australia, China)
• Historical description of the aircraft: The Curtiss P-40E Warhawk was one of the primary fighter planes of World War II, widely used on various fronts by Allied forces—from clashes with the Luftwaffe in North Africa to the defense of China with the "Flying Tigers." The E variant, in use between 1941-1944, featured improved armament and better pilot protection. The block tread type dominated in versions used especially under difficult field airstrip conditions.
• Material and extras: The product is made from high-quality resin using modern pressure-casting technology, which provides exceptionally sharp details not achievable with standard plastic wheels found in kits. The set includes two main wheels and a tail wheel, as well as masks to facilitate painting the rims.
