Vought F4U-1A Corsair®

Item No: 60325

Length: 318mm. Image shows assembled and painted kit.

A Big Step on the Path to Greatness

With a highly complex P&W R-2800 engine generating 2,000hp, a 4-meter propeller and striking gull wings, the Corsair was
certainly a memorable aircraft; it was effective, too, and was one of the mainstays of the U.S. Navy. The F4U-1A variant was
assigned to units from Summer 1943, and featured upgrades such as a semi-bubble canopy (to improve previously limited
visibility), plus the ability to carry bombs of up to 1,000lb. It saw a large amount of action in fighting with the Japanese Navy
around the Solomon Islands; the Corsair continued to serve through the Korean War in the guise of further variants, the
bomber capability pioneered by the F4U-1A proving a most effective addition to the aircraft's inherent ability.
