Overview

The Vought F4U Corsair was a formidable American fighter aircraft, combining high speed with a heavy armament during the latter half of WWII. The F4U-1D variant was the first to be officially deployed from U.S. aircraft carriers, featuring a frameless semi-bubble canopy and the ability to carry a devastating payload of bombs and rockets. It was a versatile and vital presence in the Pacific from early 1945.

This 1/32 scale Tamiya kit is a masterpiece of plastic engineering, offering a definitive replica of the iconic gull-winged fighter. It provides the modeller with a wealth of options, including the choice to build the wings folded or extended, flaps and elevators up or down, and landing gear deployed or retracted for an in-flight display. A removable cowling showcases a breathtakingly detailed Pratt & Whitney R-2800 engine.
