Description
The P-40 was a dependable warhorse that provided valuable service throughout World War II. The earliest operational variants were used to great effect by the famous 'Flying Tigers' in China, and the P-40 went on to serve in almost every theatre of the war.
This book shows modellers how to make the most of the P-40 variants and products available from major manufacturers and after-market companies. The projects featured in clear step-by-step detail include a 1/32 'Flying Tiger' P-40B, an RAAF Kittyhawk Mk.IV in 1/48, a TP-40N two-seat trainer in 1/48 and an RAF Desert Kittyhawk in 1/72 scale.
Superb colour reference photographs and detailed lists of kits and accessories available round off this authoritative treatment.
