P40B Tiger Shark Aircraft

This is probably one of the most recognized aircraft of WW2, even my 6 year old grandson knows one when he sees it. This kit is a very simple build, but has extremely good detail especially in the cockpit. I built mine many years ago, but remember no construction problems. I am presently building one with my 13 year old grandson, he is building and I am trying to keep my hands out and teach him, head to do.I still think this is a great kit, and I am thinking of building another, as I said mine is very old but has stood up well. I think I am going to build all of the Revelle/Monogram WW2 fighters again, need to take a break from the jets. I have fond memories of building these kits as a child, and young man. Almost gave away my age did't I. This is a Good Kit.

This was an extremely simple plane to construct if you have constructed other fighters. But i'm not complaining, especially because of the decals. The flying tiger option makes this baby unique. So if you are a beginner, this is a perfect kit to start with. And if u are experienced, it is still great to have one of the most famous fighter planes of the 20th century to add to your collection.

A quick to assemble kit with fewer than maybe eighty parts (?). Nice detail for such an inexpensive kit, as well as a nice collection of decals which enable you to make 3 different versions: Chinese Flying Tigers, British and pre-war US Army Air Corps. The few imperfections of fit were easily overcome with a small amount of putty and minor sanding.
