Hangar 9 NEW DUE March P-40 B !!!!!!

** DUE MARCH **

-
Hangar 9's superb P-40B Warhawk is presented in the colour scheme and markings of George Welch, one of only a few USAAF pilots that managed to get off the ground and engage the Japanese planes during the infamous attack on Pearl Harbour on 7th December 1941. His tally for the day was three Aichi D3 (Val) dive bombers and one Mitsubishi Zero fighter shot down.

The model comes with a complete hardware pack and an illustrated assembly guide that makes getting this warbird into the air enjoyable and easy.

The fully built-up airframe is constructed from carefully selected balsa wood to keep the overall weight down, and much use is made of laser cut plywood. The resulting airframe is light, durable and strong.

Whilst the kit includes standard fixed wire gear legs with scale wheels, the wings come retract ready with pre-formed ABS wheel wells already installed. For the ultimate in realism upgrading to a retracting undercarriage at a later date is quick and easy using E-flite's electric "twist and turn" retracts (EFLG320)

Designed to fly using a conventional .46-.52 or .74-.82 four-stroke glow engine, the P40 may also be powered with an electric motor; the E-flite Power 52 is the perfect choice. If choosing the electric power option, access to the flight batteries and electronics is quick and easy thanks to the large removable top hatch, there is no need to remove the wing to change batteries.

A seldom modelled early version of the P-40 minus the more familiar "sharks teeth" markings normally associated with a P40, adds to the character of this sport scale warbird. With its great flying characteristics and the chance to add further options to increase scale realism, this is one model that is bound to stand out on the flight line!
