Hasegawa JT88 P-40N WARHAWK (1/48) – plastic model kit

The Hasegawa JT88 P-40N WARHAWK model in 1:48 scale is a precisely reproduced replica of the Curtiss P-40N fighter – one of the most recognizable Allied aircraft from World War II. This product belongs to the category of plastic model kits and stands out due to its high build quality and rich detailing, typical of the renowned Japanese company Hasegawa.

The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk was a fighter aircraft produced by the United States between 1938 and 1944. The P-40N variant, developed between 1943 and 1944, was the lightest and most widely built version of this aircraft. The plane was renowned for its durability, ease of maintenance, and great combat capabilities – serving from the Western Front through North Africa to the Pacific theater. It was used mainly by the USAAF, RAF, Royal Australian Air Force, and the air forces of New Zealand, China, and Russia. The P-40N was often seen in the service of the legendary "Flying Tigers" defending China, as well as in battles over New Guinea and Burma.

The Hasegawa JT88 kit depicts the P-40N with its distinctive “shark mouth” on the engine cowling, allowing you to build one of the most famous and visually appealing versions of this fighter. The model parts are made of high-quality plastic, characterized by accurate surface details, crisp panel lines, and rivet depiction. The kit includes decals for multiple paint schemes, allowing you to personalize the model according to your preferences.
