Revell 1/72 P40k

This is the review of the Revell old mould P40k

The P40 was a promising airplane, with good performance, but which ended up having a role different from the one intended. Due to the lack of a turbocharger, it wasn't good in high altitude flight, but it was astonishing in low level flight.

In its early versions it faced the Japaneze Zero on the Pearl Harbour attack, but on its late versions, it became crucial on other war scenarios, like Africa.

This is Revell 1/72 P40K. It was built some time ago, and the model is not that recent. However, it is not bad, in fact, it can become a very pleasant model.

It has engraved panel lines, the amount of detail is afordable, the rear landing gear could have the leather protective cover, but it is easy to correct. 

Although I've done this one years ago and painted all with brush, I believe that with some more patience can become a "near match" to the quality of the new P40b from Airfix. 

As a final remark, if you find it, buy it without hesitating.
