Reviews : Academy P-40C TOMAHAWK

I purchased this kit in March of 2020, when I decided to start model building again. I built it in 2020 also so this is a late review. The model was packaged very well the parts were of excellent quality and the instructions were very clear. it went together quite well very little over flash to trim. The pros with this kit are quality, instructions are clear, and the price is very good. I have no cons for this model at all. it was the second model I have done in over 40 years. Over all I was very pleased with the result.

My kit must have been exposed to weather extremes or something. Fit was not bad for price point, but parts were unusually brittle coming off the sprues with sharp flush cutters that work fine on Tamiya/Hasegawa/Revell - and decals? Dry and brittle no matter what solution I used...set/sol, wet water, warm(ish) water - decals cracked and broke all over the aircraft. Ended up using my second favorite option and that took a lot of patience, fine tipped brushes, and micro-sol to make it look decent on just the starboard side.

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.

Just Finished Academy P-40C War Hawk Fun build all parts fit great, and the finished product is great looking. The Instructions was the only Problem It was just pictures with numbers to follow by, and there were extra parts that did not fit anywhere But It was still a great build. I would recommend this build

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.

A great model to build, everything fit perfectly with minor trimming. Easy to follow instructions and paint scheme. Enjoyed building this plane...finished product looks great...if you're into WWII aircraft, build this one.

this is a great build !!, this was my first academy kit . and i must say it is well worth the money . great detail and the directions are easy to follow . pick up one or even 2 you will enjoy this build

There are parts that have no designation in the instructions. Overall fit of most parts is OK but several parts I have no idea what do with them because they are not on instruction sheet.

great kit ! academy has done it again. great panel lines no flash. one of the best tomahawk models I have seen in a long time .don't pass this one up

I had a great time with this model. The fit was great and had no problems with anything. I would recommend this to my friends.

I have been very happy with the details, decals and ease of assembly from Academy. This was no exception!
