Academy 12235 1/48 P-40C Tomahawk IIB: Scale Recreation for WWII Modelers

The Academy 1/48 P-40C Tomahawk IIB captures the rugged profile of a key World War II fighter in a compact, display-ready scale. Known for its hard-wearing design and frontline versatility, the Tomahawk IIB translates well into a model that highlights its distinctive lines and iconic nose art.

Combat Heritage and Authentic Detail

The P-40C Tomahawk IIB earned its place in early WWII engagements, flying with a variety of Allied units. This kit reproduces the aircrafts recognisable features, from the stout fuselage to the characteristic nose region, letting history-minded builders study its engineering and silhouette up close.

Build and Fit Details

Academys engineering aims for a straightforward assembly with parts that align cleanly at 1/48 scale. The kit balances detail with practical build complexity, making it suitable for modelers advancing beyond starter projects who want accurate panel lines and a solid fit.

Showcase and Presentation

Finished, the P-40C model makes a strong focal piece on a shelf or in a case. Its proportions and surface detail respond well to careful painting and weathering, helping the finished model sit naturally alongside other WWII aircraft in a collection.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: PS plastic
  • Assembly Type: Glue required
  • Paint: Required for realistic finish
The kit suits intermediate modelers who are comfortable with glue assembly and basic painting. New builders can tackle it too, but may need extra time for fit and finishing work.
Use polystyrene cement or liquid plastic weld for best bond on PS parts, and acrylic or enamel model paints for finishing. Thin coats and primer will improve panel definition and decal adhesion.
Mask carefully for sharp nose art and use fine brushes for small details. If you plan weathering, layer washes and dry brushing to keep markings readable while adding depth.
