MIB Hasegawa/Minicraft 1/72 CURTISS P-40 Mk. 1A KITTY HAWK WW2 Fighter
The P-40 was a development of the P-36 that utilized a liquid-cooled V-12 engine to provide a higher speed than what was available with the radial engine P-36. In that means it was successful and when the US entered WWII, it was the most widely used aircraft in the US Army Air Corps (USAAC).
Hasegawa’s kit has a nice intake piece and the interior fits from the underside so you can glue the cockpit halves together before installing it. Wings are single lower piece with upper halves. Tailplanes are single piece and slot into the tail. Landing gear are well formed. Gear doors are molded closed and need to be cut unless doing the model in flight. For things under the fuselage, you have a drop tank or bomb. Prop and spinner combo is three pieces. Windscreen and canopy are a single piece with separate quarter windows.
Markings are provided for two aircraft. One is the box art plane with 112 Squadron in the Western Desert during August 1942. The other is a plane in RAF camouflage with the 49th FG at Port Darwin in the spring of 1942.
