Academy 1/72 P-40E Warhawk - Scale Warbird for Modellers

The P-40E Warhawk is a recognised WWII fighter noted for its distinctive nose art and robust silhouette. Academy's 1/72 rendition, model 12468, balances scale detail with a manageable parts count, making it attractive for display and group builds.

Service Record and Visual Identity

The P-40E served in varied climates and roles, and its shark-mouth motif became emblematic. This kit captures those visual cues and includes decal artwork to reproduce historical markings.

Build Workflow and Finishing Tips

Parts are engineered to offer a satisfying build sequence but will need careful trimming and gluing. Painting and weathering will enhance panel definition and bring out the model's character on a shelf or in a small diorama.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
  • Decals: Included for authentic markings

How long should I expect the build to take?

For a careful, painted finish expect several evenings of work; a basic out-of-box build without complex weathering can be completed much faster depending on experience.

Can I add extra detail parts or aftermarket upgrades?

Yes, many modellers fit aftermarket seat belts, resin engines, or photoetched details to increase realism. Check compatibility notes from accessory makers before purchasing.

Are the decals durable after application?

With correct surface preparation and a clear coat sealer, the water-slide decals included will adhere well and resist handling on a display model.
