An add-on engine set for a model of the Curtiss P-40E fighter in 1:72 scale. It is intended for the Special Hobby kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
The Curtiss P-40E was an American fighter of the Second World War. It flew on every front, with American as well as Allied units, and became famous for the shark mouth painted on the front of the fuselage. It was powered by a liquid-cooled Allison V-1710 V12, which gives the machine its slim pointed nose and the prominent radiator beneath it.
A powerplant set for a model in 1:72 scale. It is prepared for the Special Hobby kit. It makes sense on a build with the engine bay exposed, where the engine is visible once finished; under closed panels nothing of the work would show. Before you start gluing, dry fit the parts into the fuselage and check how much room is left and how the panels will sit once opened.
First wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water and let them dry; on a degreased surface both paint and glue hold far better. Cut the excess material and production marks off with a sharp blade a little away from the part and sand the rest down carefully. Choose the glue according to the material of the parts; with add-on sets cyanoacrylate has proved itself. Paint and shade the engine before you seat it in the fuselage; a darker shade in the shadows and a dry brush on the edges make the engine block a legible thing. The ignition harness and the hoses can be added with thin wire from reference.
The aircraft kit, paints and glue are not included in the delivery, unless stated otherwise.
