1/88 Scale Curtiss P-40 Warhawk Kit

This 1/88 scale steel model kit reproduces the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk flown by the American Volunteer Group of the Chinese Air Force in 1941-1942. It contains 43 precision-etched parts that assemble without glue or paint, though tweezers are recommended. The finished model measures approximately L- 4.3, W- 5.2, H- 3.1 inches and includes a display stand. It arrives in a brand new, officially licensed box.

Collectors And Adult Hobbyists Seeking WWII

The moderate difficulty level suits adult builders who enjoy detailed military aircraft projects. The model features a detailed exterior with no openings, capturing the distinctive lines of the Flying Tigers' fighter-bomber. Buyers who want a model with moving parts, opening panels, or a larger scale for more interior detail should look elsewhere. This kit is a static display piece only.

43-Part Steel Construction With No Openings

The kit comprises 43 steel sheets that form a solid, sealed airframe with no cockpit or engine bay openings. This construction method delivers crisp panel lines and rivet detail at 1/88 scale. The absence of openings means the model cannot be posed with canopy open or equipped with pilot figures. Verify that a sealed, exterior-only model matches your display preferences before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What are the assembled dimensions of the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk model?

The finished model measures approximately 4.3 inches long, 5.2 inches wide and 3.1 inches high, and it comes with a display stand for mounting.

How do the 43 steel parts connect if no glue is required?

The parts are designed with tabs and slots that fold and lock together; tweezers are recommended to bend the small tabs accurately without warping the sheet metal.

Will the steel sheet or display stand need any upkeep over time?

The stainless steel sheets resist corrosion, so only occasional dusting of the assembled model and stand is needed; no lubrication or part replacement is required.
