Toy plane

Guess this a post WW II toy plane. Any ideas as toy manufacturer and plane type?

Looks like the planes that came with toy aircraft carriers in the late '40s & early '50s. I had one but don't remember the maker. Tony

P-39, P-40, or P-51. I'd say it's a P-40 war hawk, the old "Flying Tigers" Cool find!

Thanks input I would agree it looks like a P-40 model.

P 40, the P 39 didn't have the large air intakes on top of the engine cowl, the P 51 had a larger wing span and fuselage

I'll bet it doesn't say "MADE IN CHINA" on it!!!

No 'made in China' markings. I agree with Tony in SC on time frame: Late 40's, early 50's.

ID on toy manufacturer could be interesting, however I do appreciate the ID on plane type. Thanks guys
