From the manufacturer:

The P-40 did not catch up with Mustang or Thunderbolt performances but it is undoubtedly one of the most famous World War 2 allied fighters. It was produced in many versions from 1941 until 1945. Only two of these versions were powered by R&R Merlin engines. These were the P-40F and P-40L. Aircraft of these versions flew combat missions over Africa, Italy and in the Pacific Theatre. One of the famous units to start its career with P-40Fs was the 325th FG Checkertails. For our limited series kit we chose two markings; highly attractive red and black machine of the units CO, Lt. Col. R. L. Baseler and a camouflaged machine nicknamed Trixie featuring nose art painting of a girl and a snake. Of course, both machines sport the black and yellow chequered empennage.
