This 1/48 scale P-40N from Academy provides hobbyists a faithful static replica of the USAAF fighter that saw action during the Battle of Imphal. The kit focuses on scale accuracy and authentic proportions so modellers can recreate a notable World War II aircraft with confidence.

Combat Role and Key Features

Build Notes and Finishing
