Italeri 2795 - 1/48 Scale P-40 E/K Kittyhawk Model Kit - Classic WWII Fighter Replica  [IT-2795S]

Italeri 1/48 P-40 E/K Kittyhawk: Scale Tribute to a Fighting Workhorse

The Italeri 1/48 scale model of the P-40 E/K Kittyhawk gives modellers a clear look at one of WWII's most adaptable fighters. Developed from the Curtiss P-36, the P-40 saw service from North Africa to the Pacific. This kit reflects the aircraft's sturdy airframe and its Allison V-12 engine, rated at over 1,150 horsepower and capable of speeds around 580 km/h.

Authentic armament and markings

The P-40E version, flown by both U.S. units and Commonwealth squadrons, is carefully represented in this kit. It models the six M2 Browning guns and underwing hardpoints used for bombs, showing the P-40's fighter and ground support roles. The box contains super decals for two versions to help display options.

Building Experience

This kit offers a satisfying build for hobbyists, with clear instructions and precision-moulded parts. A color instruction sheet is included to assist with correct assembly and paint choices to recreate the P-40E finish.
