In early 1942, the American Volunteer Group's success over China did wonders for U.S. morale
following Pearl Harbor. The Flying Tigers and their shark-mouthed P-40 warhawks destroyed nearly
300 enemy aircraft while losing only 21 of their own. This sport-scale P-40 ARF does the WWII
legend proud – with a high-quality design and the versatility to please every low-wing pilot.

The P-40 Warhawk comes covered in a trim
scheme that captures the camouflage colors
of the WWII Allied fighter. Decals shown are
included and die-cut for easy application.
The camouflage color scheme is topped off
with such instantly identifiable details as this
"Flying Tigers" insignia – lending just enough
realism to turn each flight into a WWII
adventure.
Warbird models of this size are typically foam or plastic, but the P-40
Warhawk is all-wood. Its construction quality and performance are superb
