With its 2,000hp engine and distinctive inverted gull wings, the F4U
Corsair was an excellent fighter which served on the frontlines from
WWII to the Korean War. This kit depicts the F4U-1A variant which first
entered service in the summer of 1943 and was the mount of many famous
U.S. Navy and Marine Corps aces. Characteristic features such as the
taller seat, longer tailwheel, and improved canopy have all been
accurately reproduced, and the wings may even be assembled in folded
position. Parts for 1,000lb bombs, drop tanks, and two pilot figures, as
well as two marking options are included.
