The kit includes newly designed parts, such as the unique canopy and propeller, along with high-quality Cartograf decals that allow for four different squadron markings, including the famed VMF-214 Black Sheep.

Historical Significance and Design Features

The Vought F4U Corsair was developed in response to the U.S. Navy's 1938 requirement for a high-performance carrier-based fighter. With its powerful 2,000hp engine and inverted gull wings, the Corsair was the first American fighter to exceed 400 mph in level flight. The "Bird Cage" variant is noted for its frame-like canopy, which is meticulously replicated in this model kit.

The model is in 1/72 scale, providing a detailed yet manageable size for display and collection.
Yes, the kit includes high-quality Cartograf decals with options for four different squadron markings.
