Guillow's 500 Series P-40 Warhawk

The 500 series are the most popular kits in the Guillow's line-up!  These easy-building kits contain laser cut balsa parts, plastic cowls and canopies, decals, plastic prop, wheels, tissue and a 24-page model building booklet.  Approximately 1/30 scale, each model has a 16½” wingspan.

The P-40 is one of the coolest warbirds of the U.S. fleet!

Any of the 500 series are a great way to get started in building smaller rubber-powered scale model airplanes.  For those wanting to fly, we suggest you upgrade your model with one of our small (4.75" or 6") props, Super Sport rubber and our Asuka 'Flying Bird' tissue.

For now, we will carry the entire 500 series line.  The models with the best potential to fly well include the Focke-Wulf FW-190, Messerschmitt BF-109, F6F Hellcat, Hawker Hurricane and A6M2-N Rufe.  If the model you want is out of stock, just contact us and we will get it for you!

*** The P-40 earned undying fame as the “Flying Tiger” of World War 2 when flown by General Claire Chennault’s Volunteer Group fighting in China and Burma.  It also saw much service in the Middle East where it was used by Britain’s R.A.F. and nicknamed the Tomahawk and Kittyhawk.  When World War II broke out, the P-40 was the only fighter available in quantity to the U.S. Army Air Force, being the first American single-seat plane to be manufactured in the U.S. on a mass production basis.  By the end of the war, over 14,000 planes had been delivered to fighting theatres.
