Academy 1/72 P-40E Warhawk - Detailed WWII Scale Kit

The P-40E Warhawk is a landmark fighter from World War II, instantly recognisable by its profile and nose art. This 1/72 kit from Academy 12468 is moulded with attention to scale detail, making it a solid pick for collectors and modellers focused on period military aircraft.

Combat Heritage and Accurate Markings

The P-40E earned a reputation for ruggedness and adaptability across multiple theatres. This kit reproduces signature features such as the shark-mouth nose art and includes decals to replicate authentic squadron markings.

Assembly Challenge and Display Potential

The build rewards careful assembly, with well-defined parts that need glue and paint to reach their full potential. Finished, the model presents well on a shelf or as part of a diorama, showing off crisp lines and realistic proportions.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
  • Decals: Included for authentic markings
The kit is approachable for someone with basic model skills; parts fit well and the instructions are straightforward, but small components and painting require patience and steady hands.
You will need plastic cement, hobby knives, sandpaper, and either brushes or an airbrush for paint. Tweezers and fine files are useful for handling small parts and decal placement.
The kit includes decals for the authentic scheme shown on the box art. For additional or rare schemes, aftermarket decal sheets are available from specialist suppliers.
