Eduard 1:32 Curtiss P-40M is a photo-etched detail set for refining a plastic kit of this American fighter. It is not a model of an aircraft, but an accessory for one.
Responsibility details are not available.
A set of etched metal parts from the Czech brand Eduard in 1:32 scale for raising the detail of a plastic kit of the Curtiss P-40M fighter. It is not a model of an aircraft — it is an upgrade fitted into a kit you already own. The large 1:32 scale lets the detail show nicely, so the work put into photo-etch tells at first glance.
The Curtiss P-40 was an American single-engine low-wing fighter with a liquid-cooled V12 engine and a characteristic radiator fairing under the nose. The P-40M version came about during the war years and in British and allied service appeared under the name Kittyhawk. The aircraft did not excel in performance at high altitude, but it was sturdy, stood up well to operating from improvised strips and suited attacks on ground targets. It served on a number of fronts with several air forces.
Etched parts are separated with a sharp scalpel on a hard surface, not with cutters — the sheet would deform. Folds are most accurate in a bending tool or between two blades, and parts are glued with a tiny drop of cyanoacrylate applied with a pin; on larger faces a slow-setting epoxy helps. Degrease bare metal sheet before painting and give it a primer, otherwise the paint chips off; if the set contains pre-painted parts, leave them unpainted and only seal them with varnish. Have tweezers with fine tips, good light and a steady hand ready, because the smallest pieces fly away easily.
This is not a model kit, but an add-on set. The base model, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
