 | | How to build...Eduards Curtiss P-40E/P-40N Warhawk in 1:48 SCALE
The P-40 was a dependable warhorse produced in far greater numbers than any other USAAF fighter during 1941 and 1942, and one that continued to provide valuable service until the closing days of World War II. However, the Warhawk is often overshadowed or even ignored in the annals of aviation history because it did not shine as brightly as its more glamorous counterparts on both sides of the conflict.
Eduard's all-new 1:48 scale P-40E is an instant classic with its high level of detail, modeller-friendly design and class leading surface textures.
Between these covers, we provide an exhaustive step-by-step illustrated guide to building Eduard's new 1:48 scale P-40E plus tips on painting and weathering.
Additional inspiration is also offered with a second full build of the Mauve 1:48 scale P-40N, still widely available with re-issues by Eduard and Academy, using plenty of after-market accessories.
You'll also find history, reference, exploration of earlier 1:48 scale P-40 kits and more! More |
