  • This will be a highly detailed model recreating the F4U-1A variation regarding the highly popular Corsair model. Newly-designed parts are included in the kit to accurately capture the modifications which distinguish it through the original F4U-1. The F4U-1A drew regarding the connection with Navy and United States Marine Corps pilots' experience using the original aircraft, making improvements to improve the performance of this renowned bird.

    One of the most noticeable alterations ended up being the discarding of “birdcage” cockpit and its extensive frame sections that hampered visibility; a semi-bubble canopy with just minimal frame had been installed as an alternative, which improved the pilot's view and made it more straightforward to land the F4U-1A. Additional improvements included increasing the pilot's chair 18cm to greatly help with exposure, and soon after expanding end wheel struts by 16.5cm. A wedge shaped spoiler had been included with the starboard wing to fix the propensity of this port wing to stall very first and roll out of control.

    Such changes contributed greatly to your F4U-1A's suitability for usage from aircraft carriers; although by this time around it had been passed away over for that responsibility by the F6F Hellcat. Unlike its predecessor, the F4U-1A would later on be properly used as fighter-bomber, and was presented with the ability of carrying a fall tank beneath the fuselage, plus a bomb rack to be used on raids supporting ground troops. This combination of fearsome performance in the air and bombing capability made the F4U-1A an important component since the Allied forces conducted their 'island hopping' strategy progressing through the Solomon isles.
