HOB HA5511 Hobby Master 1/72 Curtiss P-40N Warhawk Diecast Model USAAF 15th FG, 45th FS, #42-105112 Geronimo, Bruce Campbell, Mankin Island, December 1943

The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk first flew in 1938 as a modification of the Curtiss P-36 Hawk. Warhawk was the official U.S. designation while the name Tomahawk was used by the British Commonwealth and Soviet forces for the P-40B and C and Kittyhawk for P-40Ds and later. The P-40 was first used by British squadrons in North Africa and the Middle East in 1941. The P-40 lacked a two-speed supercharger making them inferior to German aircraft but was an adequate fighter in low altitude combat zones. Almost 12,000 P-40s were produced.
