Academy 1/48 P-40N Scale Model from the Battle of Imphal

The Academy 1/48 P-40N captures the look of the USAAF fighter involved at Imphal, offering modellers a precise static kit to recreate this wartime type. The parts layout and detail aim to reflect the aircraft as fielded during the Burma Campaign.

Role in the Burma Campaign

The P-40N served reliably in theatre duties around Imphal, noted for its sturdy build and effective armament. This model echoes those operational traits and reproduces commonly seen markings including the distinctive shark mouth artwork.

Assembly Experience for Modellers

Construction will reward attention to small components and alignment. The kit is well suited to hobbyists who enjoy careful assembly and paintwork; final finishing and decal placement produce an authentic museum-quality display when done correctly.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
New builders can attempt it but should expect small parts and some tricky fits; beginners may want to start with a simpler kit first.
The included decal sheet provides authentic nose art and national markings representative of P-40N examples from that period.
A hobby knife, fine files, plastic cement, tweezers and clamps or rubber bands for holding parts during drying will make the build smoother.
