The Loire-Nieuport LN 40 and LN 401 were French dive bombers developed just before the outbreak of World War II. These aircraft were somewhat inspired by American and German designs, and were mainly intended as fighter-bombers for naval aviation (Aéronavale). However, due to the rapid escalation of hostilities, they were also absorbed into the Armée de l’Air. The LN 401 participated in the French campaign of 1940, operating mainly against German armored columns and bridges in support of the Allies, but unfortunately suffered very heavy losses. The aircraft were in service from 1939 to 1940.

The Special Hobby 48058 kit allows you to build a highly detailed model assembled from precisely cast plastic parts, accurately replicating the original. The kit features a beautifully rendered fuselage surface with rivet detail, a finely crafted cockpit, as well as detailed control surfaces and landing gear. The manufacturer has included high-quality decals, allowing you to recreate different French versions of the aircraft's camouflage.
