I prefer either Testors enamels or Tamiya acrylics. If you paint it as a Pearl Harbor Defender, you'll need neutral gray and olive drab. If you paint it as an AVG (flying tigers aircraft), you'll need RAF green and Dark Earth. The underside of Flying Tigers aircraft were a lighter shade of gray than neutral gray, possibly RAF sky. Flying Tigers aircraft were originally designated for the UK but were rerouted. You'll also need flat black, silver, interior green, rust, and yellow. There are probably a few other colors I've forgotten. If you don't go through Amazon, a local hobby shop or possibly a Michael's will have most of what you need. By the way, liquid glue gives a better appearance than tube glue. You might also want some canopy glue (a white glue) for the canopy. **Q: Do the wing flaps on this model move?** A: No, the flaps are not mobile **Q: what is the length of this model kit?** A: Dimensions (mm) L202 x W237 **Q: Did your P40 kit arrive shrink wrapped? Mine didn't, which i thought odd, & now I discover all of the clear parts missing.** A: Mine came in a bag... ## Frequently Bought Together - Airfix WWII Curtiss P-40B Warhawk 1:48 Military Aircraft Plastic Model Kit, Green,Green/White, Small - Cement Glue Value Pack Testors 2-7/8 fl oz tubes - Rustark 9Pcs Gundam Model Tools Kit Hobby Building, Repairing and Fixing Set for Kids --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/696891402-airfix](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/696891402-airfix) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
