Review Summary

The kit offers good overall fit with recessed panel lines, adequate detail, and minimal flash or post-assembly work needed. Builders note clear instructions in most cases along with extra parts for optional conversions, though some report unlabeled pieces and occasional brittle parts or decals. The finished result is described as great-looking and enjoyable to build.

One of the best P-40C kits I've ever built

By: blawhorne

This P-40C was a great one. With extra parts for an option to convert this kit to Academy's classic P-36 Hawk, this Warhawk has great fit, recessed panel lines, and much more to surprise the recipient of this Academy delight.

Solid Kit

By: leesuper73

This is a solid kit with adequate detail and great fit. It doesn't have very many bells and whistles compared to other P-40 kits in regards to detail, but it's got enough to make it a joy to build. The pieces fit together well and very little post fit work needed to be done. I will probably buy this kit again.
