Academy 12280 - 1/48 P-40C Tomahawk Kit Details

The Academy 12280 1/48 P-40C Tomahawk kit recreates one of the most recognisable early WWII fighters in a tidy, buildable format. The parts capture the aircraft's rugged silhouette and allow builders to recreate a classic wartime profile. The P-40C was valued for its toughness and steady service in frontline operations.

Authenticity and Period Character

Deployed in campaigns such as North Africa and Pacific operations, the P-40C is often remembered for its shark-mouth nose art and frontline presence. This kit models those defining exterior features so modellers can assemble an accurate period representation.

Assembly Feel and Presentation

The 1/48 scale provides clear detail without tiny fiddly parts, giving a pleasant building flow and an appealing display model. Moulded pieces reproduce structural elements and control surfaces that deliver satisfying realism when assembled and painted.
