Setup, Compatibility & Care
To assemble the Airfix Curtiss P-40B Warhawk, ensure you have a clean, well-lit workspace and the necessary tools, including plastic cement, hobby sprue cutters or side cutters, and model paint. It is recommended to wash the plastic sprues in warm, soapy water to remove any mold-release agents before painting. Store the completed model away from direct sunlight to prevent plastic degradation or decal fading over time. Keep the model out of reach of children under 36 months due to small, hazardous parts.
