P-40M Warhawk "Involuntarily from Russia to Finland"

Special Hobby 1/72. Suomen ilmavoimien sotasaalis P-40M. Suomi sai sotasaaliiksi vaurioituneita Warhawkeja, joista yksi P-40M,
konetyypin englantilaisen tyyppinimen, Kittyhawk Mk.III, mukaan
rekisteritunnuksen KH-51 saanut, korjattiin Suomen ilmavoimien käyttöön. Varaosien huonon saatavuuden takia sillä ei lennetty paljon, ainoastaan tutustumislentoja

The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk is an American single-engined, single-seat, all-metal fighter-bomber that first flew in 1938. The P-40 design was a modification of the previous Curtiss P-36 Hawk which reduced development time and enabled a rapid entry into production and operational service. 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 of World War
II, after the P-51 and P-47; by November 1944, when production of the P-40 ceased, 13,738 had been built,^[3] all at Curtiss-Wright Corporation's main production facilities in Buffalo, New York.

 P-40M, version generally similar to the P-40K, with a stretched
fuselage like the P-40L and powered by an Allison V-1710-81 engine
giving better performance at altitude (compared to previous Allison
versions). It had some detail improvements and it was characterized by
two small air scoops just before the exhaust pipes. Most of them were
supplied to Allied countries (mainly UK and USSR), while some others
remained in the US for advanced training. It was also supplied to the
Commonwealth air forces as the Kittyhawk Mk. III
