This model bridges the gap between the F4U-1 Bird Cage and F4U-1D Corsairs to better chronicle the changes that this aircraft had undergone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduced into service in 1942, the Vought F4U-1 featured inverted gull wings and a massive 2,000hp engine spinning the largest propeller mounted on a fighter at the time. While the fighters performance and toughness was quite impressive, deficiencies such as inadequate forward visibility, restricted all-round visibility due to the early frame-like canopy, and the tendency for the left and right wings to stall at different speeds led to various improvements being added throughout production, eventually resulting in the F4U-1A version. These improvements included a longer tailwheel leg for better forward visibility, a new canopy for better all-round visibility, and an almost unnoticeable 15cm stall strip fixed to the leading edge of the right wing to ensure both wings would stall at the same speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/72 scale assembly model kit of the Vought F4U-1A Corsair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKit depicts a final F4U-1A Corsair production version with all improvements or versions at different stages of the improvement process\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParts for 1000lb. bomb, external fuel tank, two types of propellers, and two types of tailwheel are included to provide many modeling possibilities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh quality decals for 3 different sets of markings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37650343166118,"sku":"TAM60775","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/products\/tamiya-60775-1-72-f4u1a-corsair-aircraft-kit.jpg?v=1663617684","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/tamiya-60775-1-72-f4u1a-corsair-aircraft-kit","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
