Description

This Curtiss P-40E Warhawk represents a USAAF 343rd Fighter Group aircraft of the 11th FS Aleutian Tigers in the Aleutian Islands during 1943. The tiger artwork on the nose gives this Warhawk a strong squadron identity, tying it to one of the more distinctive Pacific-area P-40 schemes.

A great addition to any WWII USAAF collection, especially for displays focused on lesser-seen theatre markings and nose art. Ideal for display and for collectors who enjoy aircraft linked to named fighter groups and unit-specific finishes.

Grading

Grading Criteria

Our grading is based mainly on the physical condition of the model itself, including paintwork, attached parts, repairs, visible wear and overall presentation. Box condition and missing separate accessories are noted separately where applicable.


Mint (10/10)
- 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)
- Light wear or a few tiny marks, but still displays very well.


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


Good (6/10)
- Obvious overall wear, visible marks or paint loss; better suited as a display or filler piece.


Fair (5/10)
- Heavy wear, larger areas of paint loss, repairs or clearly visible flaws.


Spares / Repairs (4/10 or below)
- Significant damage, missing attached parts, broken components or best suited for restoration/spares.


If a separate accessory, stand, leaflet, certificate or optional part is missing, this will be mentioned in the listing notes. The model may still receive a high grade if the model itself remains in strong condition.
