Curtiss Kittyhawk Dual Combo (Limited Edition) – 1/48 Scale
This Limited Edition Dual Combo set pairs two notable Curtiss Kittyhawk variants in one package: the Mk.Ia (P‑40E) and the Mk.IV (P‑40N). Eduard’s moulding quality is on full display here, with crisp panel lines and refined surface detail that give both airframes a sharp, purposeful finish. The cockpits benefit from pre‑painted photo‑etch, and the included masks make canopy and wheel work refreshingly simple. It’s a set that offers variety without adding unnecessary complexity to the build.
The decal sheet provides ten marking options drawn from RAF, RAAF, SAAF and RNZAF units operating in North Africa, the Pacific and Italy. From iconic shark mouths to theatre bands and sun‑bleached desert schemes, the selection covers a wide range of personalities and operational stories. With two complete kits, a generous decal spread and Eduard’s dependable engineering, this Dual Combo is ideal for anyone interested in the evolution of the P‑40 or looking to display two contrasting Kittyhawks side by side.

History
The Kittyhawk family marked the steady refinement of Curtiss’s rugged P‑40 design, widely used by Commonwealth air forces between 1941 and 1945. The Mk.Ia (P‑40E) introduced stronger armament and improved performance over the earlier Tomahawk, proving itself a reliable workhorse across North Africa, the Middle East and the Pacific. Pilots appreciated its toughness, stability and ability to endure harsh conditions.
The later Mk.IV (P‑40N) represented the final major development of the series, incorporating weight reductions, better visibility and extended range. It served extensively with RAAF, RNZAF and RAF squadrons in the Pacific and Italian theatres. Though never the fastest fighter of its era, the Kittyhawk earned respect for its durability, versatility and consistent frontline performance. Together, these two variants chart the evolution of a fighter that built its reputation through resilience and steady service rather than raw speed.
