About product

A Warhawk with a long spine and an Allison engine

The M version came in 1943 as a late stage of a line the Allies committed on practically every battlefield. It was powered by the Allison V-1710-81 twelve-cylinder with an improved supercharger and you can recognize it on the fuselage behind the exhausts by the lengthened cooling louvers. Most of the machines went from the production line through the Lend-Lease program to the Commonwealth and to Soviet regiments, where they were simply called Kittyhawk. It was no high-altitude fighter, but down low it took a hit another type would not have survived. A robust airframe and good speed in a dive made it a favorite tool for attacks on ground targets.

What to do about a hairline flaw

Even a well-applied film occasionally lets a trace of paint a tenth of a millimeter wide under its edge. In a large scale there is no point sanding the whole area; retouching is faster. Take a brush with one or two hairs, pick up the shade of the glass, that is clear varnish lightly tinted with blue, and go over that hairline alone. The other possibility is the reverse: outline the frame in the frame color and so bring the smeared transition back to a straight edge. Either is a matter of minutes and saves a part that would otherwise go in the bin.

  • Shaped to the glazing of the P-40M kit by Hasegawa
  • Covers the moving as well as the fixed part of the cockpit, face and reverse
  • The film takes mild stretching over the curve of the spine
  • There are no decals and no templates for markings in the package

The accessory is sold without the model; the kit itself is a separate product.

FAQ

Only with a reservation. The division of the canopy differs between the individual versions and the cut matches one particular kit. On another model some of the shapes will fit and some will need trimming.

The quickest remedy is retouching with a very fine brush. Either touch the glass with tinted clear varnish, or outline the frame in its own shade instead and even the edge out that way.

It is not necessary. Some modelers do apply a thin coat of clear varnish over the edge precisely to seal it so that paint cannot get under it, but the set does not assume that.

No. According to the information available it is purely masking shapes for the glazing. Metal and resin parts are not included.
