Curtiss P-40 Tomahawk.
The Curtiss P-40 was an American single-engined, single-seat, all-metal fighter and ground-attack aircraft that first flew in 1938. The P-40 design was a modification of the previous Curtiss P-36 Hawk which reduced development time and enabled a rapid entry into production and operational service. The P-40 was used by most Allied powers during World War II, and remained in front line service until the end of the war. It was the third most-produced American fighter, after the P-51 and P-47; by November 1944, when production of the P-40 ceased, 13,738 had been built, all at Curtiss-Wright Corporation's main production facilities at Buffalo, New York.
P-40 Warhawk was the name the United States Army Air Corps adopted for all models, making it the official name in the United States for all P-40s. The British Commonwealth and Soviet air forces used the name Tomahawk for models equivalent to the P-40B and P-40C, and the name Kittyhawk for models equivalent to the P-40D and all later variants.

Thanks to “Cowboy” for the model and “Sinisterchopper” for the paint scheme.
Various adjustments for good flight performance in RF 7.5.
Flight controls include throttle, rudder, ailerons, elevator, landing flaps, retractable landing gear.
Fly with the channel 5 rate switch in the “High” position.
Landing flaps are on channel 6.
Retractable landing gear is on channel 7.
This is fairly nice model with a selection of great paint schemes. Good flight characteristics suitable for model of this nature. Lands well with or without flaps. Sure to appeal to the warbird enthusiasts.
