Ideal P-40 Warhawk

The Ideal P-40 Warhawk was made from 1945-47 and was the follow-up piece to their P-39 Airacobra featured here back on Dec 21, 2015. Here we have one in a beautiful marbled blue hard plastic with yellow wheels. Mine is missing the prop,which would have been in the same yellow as the wheels, but is otherwise in good shape. It measures 3 1/2" (8.89cm) L without the propeller  x 4 1/2" (11.43cm)  wingspan x 1 3/8" (3.49cm) H. Enjoy! Opa Fritz and Oma Bettina

Okay, that's enough of the Thomas Toy P-40s for now! This is a later series Thomas Toy P-40 w/o wheels. Enjoy! Opa Fritz and Oma Bettina

Thomas Toy P-40 Warhawk - Original Series w/wheels - Red SP

I'm still working on that box of tiny planes pulled from The Cave. On Dec 20th we featured a Thomas Toy P-40 Warhawk which was probably a '60s version of a toy they originally produced in the '50s. While the later versions had straight-legged landing gear with no wheels today's original series P-40 has the wheels intact - but missing the prop. The wheels are held on by metal rivets and are of a contrasting color. The planes measurements (if it would have had the prop) would be 3 3/4" (9.52cm) L x 4 1/4" (10.79cm) wingspan x 1 1/2" (3.81cm) H. Enjoy! Opa Fritz and Oma Bettina
