Customer Reviews: good model for startersAugust 2, 2009 A.S 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
This model is pretty simple and comes with good instructions, so although it was my first, I finished putting it together in only one afternoon.
The thing to remember is that the pieces are molded from thin green plastic, so if you want the model to look good and fit nicely you need to buy good modeling cement and paint. The paint colors needed for this model are not listed, so here they are:
flat black
aluminum
tan
light brown
yellow
red (for nose of plane- if painted like the "Flying Tigers")
olive drab
gray (if painted the like the US army)
light blue (if painted like the "Flying Tigers" or British army)
***it would have helped me a lot to know the paint colors in advance, I didn't have the red for the nose of the plane, so I had to use nail polish for the job instead***
Nice ModelSeptember 27, 2009 cchiang12(New England) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The kit comes with 3 different decals: US Army, RAF, and AVG (American Volunteer Group).
I like the fact that this model comes with 2 different parts for open-canopy and close-canopy.
This is important because some models canopy parts don't fit right if you try the opposite as "shown on the box".
This model is not very difficult to assemble.
It is, however, a bit of challenge to paint, if you want the aircraft to look like to picture on the box.
The weathering effect will bring the artist out of you (e.g. the rust, paint peeling off, gun powder dust, engine exhaust).
Overall, the detail is good, one complaint on the detail is that you can see though the cockpit to the ground, as there is a opening near the flaps. To overcome this, I put a tape over the opening, and paint over it.
Not sure what the design team was thinking of.
Had a great time build it, and would recommend this model. While building it, read a bit of history on the AVG.

This is an old kit, dating 30+ years old. There are some fit problems and gaps when joining the fuslage to the wings. Compared to the modern manufacturers versions of the P-40, this kit still stands the test of time and can hold its own, especially for the price. You get decals for the U.S. AAF, RAF, and the Flying Tigers. I did the Flying Tigers scheme and painted the kit RAF colours, because that was where they were supposed to go before being diverted to China and the AVG. Historically, the AVG just left the aircraft in their RAF colours and applied Chinese markings. I'm sure that the aftermarket afficiandos can make this a better kit, but it a good kit out of the box and a good kit to start younger people with just entering the modeling hobby.

This was a birthday gift to my nephew who loves war memorabilia; and it was a HIT! He loved it. He put it together and the kids were 'flying' it around the house. He wants more!
