Academy - P-40M/N Warhawk 1:72
One of the most extensively produced American fighter aircraft, the Curtiss-Wright P-40 Warhawk served in all theaters for a variety of purposes. Although it was not known as an outstanding fighter, its ruggedness and reliability made it ideal for ground support and low-altitude bombing missions. In 1943 Curtiss-Wright produced the P-40M. Powered by an Allison V-1710-81 engine, 600 units of P-40M were produced for USAAF. The P-40N was the last variant of the Warhawks, the lightweight and most agile of the group, the P-40N was powered by an Allison V-1710 engine, four to six wing guns, and provision to carry a 500-lb bomb. The P-40N saw duty in the Pacific against Japan. Includes optional parts to build the M or the N version of the airplane. Kit features fully engraved panel lines and rivet detail, a highly detailed cockpit interior, and a landing gear bay. Includes optional position of the canopy and landing gear door.
