Tamiya 60775 - 1/72 Vought F4U-1A Corsair  [60775]

About the Vought F4U-1A Corsair

Introduced into service in 1942, the Vought F4U-1 showcased inverted gull wings and a massive 2,000hp engine rotating the greatest propeller attached to a fighter at that time. While the fighter's performance and toughness ended up being quite impressive, inadequacies including inadequate forward presence, limited all-round visibility because of the very early frame-like canopy, as well as the propensity for the left and right wings to stall at different speeds generated different improvements being added throughout production, sooner or later causing the F4U-1A variation. These improvements included an extended tailwheel leg for better forward presence, a fresh canopy for better all-round presence, and a nearly unnoticeable 15cm 'stall strip' fixed to the key side of the right wing to make certain both wings would stall at exact same rate.
