The Warhawk was used by most Allied powers during World War II, and remained in frontline service until the end of the war. It was the third most-produced American fighter, after the P-51 and P-47. P-40 Warhawk was the name the United States Army Air Corps adopted for all models. A total of 11,998 P-40s were built before production was finally terminated in 1944.

The Seagull Curtiss P-40N 2032 mm Warhawk is extremely lightweight with its balsa and plywood construction. It has a highly detailed cockpit and Painted fibreglass cowl, exhaust ports, and landing gear pods.
