Based in Burma, "White 47" participated in multiple high-risk sorties against Japanese aircraft and supply lines, using its sturdy airframe, six .50-caliber machine guns, and high-speed diving capability for both air-to-air combat and ground support. Smith’s precision and aggressive tactics contributed significantly to the AVG’s efforts to disrupt Japanese advances, demonstrating the courage, skill, and determination of the Flying Tigers. This model faithfully reproduces the distinctive "Hell s Angels" squadron markings and detailed Warhawk profile, making it an ideal collectible for aviation enthusiasts and a tribute to the vital role of the P-40 in the aerial battles of Burma during World War II.
