About product

Curtiss P-40M Kittyhawk 1:48 — Injection-Molded Kit by Hobby Boss

Plastic kit of the fighter aircraft Curtiss P-40M Kittyhawk in 1:48 scale by Hobby Boss. It is a molded model in gray plastic with engraved panel lines, a detailed cockpit and clear canopy parts. It represents a late version of the famous American fighter with a belly-mounted radiator.

The real subject

The P-40 was one of the most numerous Allied fighters of the Second World War and saw action on practically every front. The P-40M version was a late variant close to the P-40K; it was powered by a V-12 Allison V-1710 engine and had a slightly lengthened fuselage compared with earlier aircraft, for better stability. The Kittyhawk flew with American, British and other Allied units and gained a reputation for its rugged construction.

Building and painting tips

First assemble and paint the cockpit, then close up the fuselage. Glue the parts with a thin liquid cement for plastic and sand the joints smooth. An airbrush and masking suit both the desert and European camouflage schemes; you can handle the type's signature shark-mouth nose art with a decal or a mask. Washes and dry-brushing will bring out the panels and wear.

Who the model is for

  • For collectors of Allied Second World War fighter aircraft.
  • For modelers who enjoy camouflage and weathering.
  • For fans of the Curtiss P-40.
  • For 1:48 scale builders with basic experience.

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

Yes, with a bit of care. We recommend finishing the cockpit first and then closing up the fuselage; sand the joints smooth after gluing.
