This was the earliest serious fighter in WWII and did it's job until better, more powerful fighters came off the assembly lines. It was known as a safe and secure aircraft being able to fly pilots back home after being shot up in action. The shark teeth graphics are the big feature on this plane and, with just a bit of care, it makes up into a great model.

The P-40, though not an extremely important fighter, flew on all fronts during the war and was particularly outstanding in the Pacific. The lack of performance of this racy looking fighter was made up by the ruggedness which made it possible for many badly damaged aircraft to return safely to home base.
