The 1/72 Heller 56266 P-40 Kitty Hawk Plane Starter Kit lets you recreate one of the most iconic fighter aircraft of World War II. The Curtiss P-40 E, successor to the Hawk 81 A (Tomahawk), first flew on May 22, 1941. Great Britain ordered 540 units under the name Kittyhawk 1A, while the US Army Air Force operated 1,500 of them. Thanks to the land lease agreement, many of these planes returned to the UK. With this starter kit, you can bring this legendary aircraft to life yourself.

This starter kit includes everything you need to start right away - paint, brush, and glue are included. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced modeller, this kit offers the joy of building and the reward of adding a timeless classic to your collection.
