Introduction

The Hangar 9 P-40B Warhawks 50 ARF is a unique take on
this warbird icon. It's modeled after the Warkhawks flown by
two U.S. Army Air Corps pilots in the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Along with its authentic trim scheme and decals, it includes
an impressive list of scale details usually only available on
more expensive kits. Its also been designed with a low parts
count so assembly is simple. You even have the choice of
equipping it with glow or electric power; hardware for either
option is included.
In the air, the P-40B Warhawk 50 possesses all the best
characteristics of a spirited sport plane. Whether you're
flying aerobatics or strafing the runway, its smooth, precise
control response makes you feel like you're flying on rails.
