Between 1941 and 1944 he also played a key role in many operational theatres from North Africa to Italy, from China to the South Pacifi.

One of the most successful version was the P-40E. Used by U.S. fighter squadrons and, as Kittyhawk , by Commonwealth Air Forces, the P-40E was heavily armed with six 12.7 mm. M2 Browning machine guns installed in the wings and able to carry nearly 900 Kg. of bombs. This is a plastic model kit, which comes unassembled and unpainted. So glue, model paints and other basic modelling tools are additionally required.
