Airfix Curtiss Tomahawk IIB Starter Set 1:72

Description

The P40, in its various incarnations, served in the United States Army Air Force throughout the Second World War, fighting in Europe, across Asia and in the deserts of North Africa.  The first model to see active service, the P40B proved to be an effective and tough low-level fighter, able to withstand heavy enemy fire and bring its pilot home safely.

Paint Scheme – Curtiss Tomahawk IIB, Flown by Pilot Officer Neville Duke, No.112 Squadron, Fort Maddalena, Libya, 1941

Airfix Starter Sets are ideal for beginners.  Each Small Starter Set includes glue, brush and four acrylic paints – all that is needed to complete a fabulous first kit!

Where possible, Airfix have been using Lidar to ‘map’ new subjects since 2015, this gives much improved accuracy to their measurements, textures and the general feel of the subject.  The Lidar data is then fed into a CAD program for Airfix to begin creating the model.  The video shows how it’s all done. 

This Airfix Plastic Model Kit requires paints and glues to complete, we recommend the following:

• Tamiya Acrylic Paint
