The Curtiss P-40E Warhawk is an American fighter aircraft that played a key role on various fronts during World War II. The E version was distinguished by stronger armament and improved aerodynamics. It was widely used by both the USAAF and the British RAF, as well as the air forces of the USSR and China. One of the most famous users was the legendary "Flying Tigers," American volunteers fighting in the Far East.

The Eduard EX1088 mask set is intended for modellers who want to achieve the highest painting precision without the risk of damaging details due to paint bleed. The self-adhesive, laser-cut masks guarantee perfect adhesion to surfaces, resulting in clean, sharp lines on the canopies and undercarriage wheels. This solution significantly reduces the time required to prepare the model for painting, eliminates the need for manual tape cutting, and greatly improves the quality of the final result.

We recommend this set to both intermediate and experienced modellers who value attention to detail and a professional finish for their models. The difficulty level of use is 1/5 – the masks are very simple to apply and require no special skills.
