Description
Corgi AA28103 is a detailed 1:72 scale diecast representation of the Curtiss Tomahawk Mk IIB, finished as AK402, No.112 Squadron, North Africa, November 1941.
No.112 Squadron adopted its famous shark-mouth nose art in North Africa, inspired by markings seen on German Bf 110 aircraft. Its Tomahawks flew fighter sweeps, escorts and ground-support sorties in the harsh desert campaign.
The Tomahawk was the RAF name for early P-40 variants. Strong, manoeuvrable at lower altitude and able to absorb punishment, it gave Allied squadrons a useful fighter and ground-attack platform despite limited high-altitude performance.

- As new, with no visible flaws to the model itself.
Near Mint (9/10)
- Very light signs of handling, storage or display only.
Excellent (8/10)

Very Good (7/10)
- Noticeable wear, small chips or rubs, but still presentable as a display piece.
Good (6/10)
