RMXH-60 - Revell 1/72 Curtiss P-40E (Collector's choice) - WWHP111658

Preowned, Resealed, Mint

The Curtiss P-40 was an American single-seat fighter built around the Allison V-1710 V12, used on virtually every major front in the first half of WWII. Though outclassed in high-altitude dogfighting, it was rugged, available in numbers, and effective at low level as a fighter-bomber, with the P-40E carrying six .50-cal machine guns. It earned lasting fame in the shark-mouthed markings of the American Volunteer Group, the "Flying Tigers," in China.
