US 59th FS/33rd FG, Tunisia. The Curtiss P-40 was an American single-engine, single-seat, all-metal fighter and ground attack aircraft that first flew in 1938. It was used by the air forces of 28 nations, including those of most Allied powers during World War II, and remained in front line service until the end of the war. The P-40 design was a modification of the previous Curtiss P-36; this reduced development time and enabled a rapid entry into production and operational service. Warhawk was the name the United States Army Air Corps adopted for all models, making it the official name in the United States for all P-40s. The British Commonwealth and Soviet air forces used the name Tomahawk for models equivalent to the P-40B and P-40C, and the name Kittyhawk for models equivalent to the P-40D and all later variants.

Looks much better in person than the pic on the web. Great matte desert camo and insignias. Disappointed in the quality control- the wing structure seems somewhat loose from the fuselage, you can hear it rattle. The rubber band that was around the nose left a noticeable mark across the cowling. These 2 negatives detract from a really nice looking diecast.
