Description: Custom built model of a WW2 Curtiss XP-40 fighter plane. This model represents a prototype of the famous P-40 Warhawk in polished aluminum finish. One of the front line planes of the U.S. Army Air Corps at the outbreak of WW2, The P-40 was a somewhat controversial design, The Allison engine powering it had poor high altitude power limiting the plane's performance but its ruggedness made up for that somewhat. The U.S. successfully used it in the South Pacific and Mediterranean. The British Empire also used them in the North African desert for ground attack.The P-40's most famous use was with the American Volunteer Group, the "Flying Tigers" in China in 1941. The plane was kept in production thru most of the war and served in numerous airforces via the Lend / Lease program. This is a scale model collectors item to be handled and unpacked with care, not a childs toy to be played with! Has small and sharp parts that could break off if mishandled. Buyer should expect the possibility of small parts coming detached in shipment but model is well built and will be carefully packed (check my feedback) and damage is quite unlikely. I combine shipping. See my other auctions. Made and assembled in the U.S.A. Happy Bidding!
