Description
The P-40 series was used not only by the U.S. Army Air Corps but also
by the Allied Forces on every battlefield in World War II. Because it was easy to mass produce, easy to handle, and durable, it was used for ground attacks and anti-bomber combat. The P-40E is the first mass-produced model of which approximately 2,300 were produced, and compared to the previous type, the D-type, it has stronger armor and armament, making it more practical. The kit has a parts composition that pursues external accuracy and ease of assembly. The windshield can be opened or closed. The front and rear parts of the windshield are molded in clear and integrated with the fuselage panel, making them easy to adhere and create a beautiful finish. Includes pilot figure parts in a seated position. Two types of decals are set from aircraft belonging to the US Army Air Corps.
