Hasegawa [ST29] 1:32 P-40E Warhawk

The P-40 series was not only used by the United States Army Air Forces but also served as a primary Allied fighter aircraft on every battlefield of World War II. With excellent mass production capabilities, ease of handling, and durability, it was employed in ground attack and anti-bomber combat roles. The P-40E, the first major production variant with approximately 2,300 units produced, featured enhanced armor and armament compared to the previous D model, resulting in improved practicality.

The kit is designed for accuracy in external appearance and ease of assembly, with the windshield being optional to open or close. The front and rear sections of the windshield are molded clear as an integrated part of the fuselage panel, allowing for easy adhesive application and a clean finish. A pilot figure for seating posture is included. The decals include markings for two aircraft from the United States Army Air Forces.
