Special Hobby 1/72 P-70 Nighthawk ‘First US Nightfighter’ Plastic Model Kit

Special Hobby's 1/72 scale P-70 Nighthawk plastic model kit (SH-72460) recreates the first dedicated US nightfighter of World War II, the Douglas P-70, which was derived from the A-20 Havoc bomber for nocturnal interception duties. This aircraft model kit captures a historically significant and often-overlooked subject from the Pacific and early European theatres, making it a compelling build for WWII aviation modellers who want something beyond the usual wartime subjects.
