The P-40 earned undying fame as the “Flying Tiger” of World War 2 when flown by General Claire Chennault’s Volunteer Group fighting the Japanese in China and Burma. It also saw much service in the Middle East where it was used by Britain’s R.A.F. and nicknamed the Tomahawk and Kittyhawk. When World War 2 broke out, the P-40 was the only fighter available in quantity to the U.S.A.A.F., it being the first American single-seat plane to be manufactured in the U.S. on a mass production basis. By the end of the war, over 14,000 planes had been delivered to fighting theatres.

Loved Guillow kits my whole life!
PARRIS DOYLE –
Yeah, me too. Loved these kits my whole life. They are so versatile in building options and modification. I like the small power plants engine, and Guillow kits are perfect for the small electric, and fuel motors.
