1:72 P-40 Tomahawk

Instrument panel P-40 Tomahawk 1:72 (Yahu Models)

A colored photo-etched instrument panel for the cockpit of the American Curtiss P-40 fighter in the Tomahawk form in 1:72 scale from Yahu Models. It is not an aircraft model but a finished, pre-printed and painted cockpit accessory, which replaces the plastic instrument panel in the base kit and raises the realism of the cockpit.

The real subject

The Curtiss P-40 was an American single-seat fighter powered by the Allison V-1710 V12 engine. The early versions, known to the British as the Tomahawk, served at the start of the Second World War with the RAF in North Africa and also became famous with the Flying Tigers volunteer group in China, where the machines carried the well-known shark mouth on the nose. The P-40 was rugged and tough, but it lagged behind the best of its rivals in agility.

Use

• The panel is placed in the cockpit of a base P-40 Tomahawk model
• It is pre-printed and colored, so it does not have to be painted
• It brings more detail in the dials and the labels than the plastic part
• A quick way to raise the realism of the cockpit without photo-etch work and an airbrush

Who it is for

• Modelers of American and Allied aircraft in 1:72 scale
• Collectors of fighters of the Second World War

This is a finished colored photo-etched cockpit accessory, not an aircraft kit. The base model and glue are not included in the package.
