Eduard 481073 is a specialized set of photo-etched landing flaps for the 1/48 scale P-40N Warhawk model, intended for Academy plastic kits. The set allows for a realistic recreation of the landing flap sections of one of the most famous WWII fighters, enabling model enthusiasts to faithfully represent details that are often simplified in standard kit sprues.

P-40N Warhawk was widely used by the United States and Allied air forces, including Australia, China, and the United Kingdom during WWII. It is particularly well-known for its service on the China-Burma front, as well as in North Africa and the Pacific. The 1/48 scale model combines excellent detail-to-size proportion, allowing for highly precise replication of all the original aircraft's structural elements from the 1943–1945 period.
