It was in production longer than any other US fighter in World War II (1942-1952) with 12,571 built, some of which remained in service as late as 1965.The F4U-4 is a version 2.01 addition to War birds. This Corsair saw service in the final stages of the Pacific War. The F4U-4 Corsair used the Pratt \u0026amp; Whitney R2800-18W, later upgraded to the R2800-42W. This engine required more air, creating the need to re-design the nose with the distinctive chin intake. The exhaust system was also re-designed with exhaust outlets both above and below the wings. The other major change was a complete re-design of the cockpit, making it more ergonomic. This included a new cockpit floor, new consoles, re-designed instrument panel, and a simplified seat which consisted of a bucket-type base and a flat armored plate for a back rest. The F4U-4 first saw combat at the battle for Okinawa in 1945. The F4u-4 also participated in combat in Korea. It was the fastest, best dogfighter of the series. The Corsair was definitely the longest-lived of the Navy fighters of WWII, its last combat sortie being in 1971 with El Salvador, and the F4U-4 was considered the ‘ultimate’ Corsair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: 1:32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 321mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWingspan: 390mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Parts: 350+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhoto Etched Parts: Hinges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Sprues: 10 sprues, tires, cowling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Trumpeter Scale Models","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51224929075413,"sku":"TRP2222","price":76.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/files\/trumpeter-scale-models-2222-1-32-vought-f4u-4-corsair-model-aircraft-kit.jpg?v=1742147767","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/trumpeter-scale-models-2222-1-32-vought-f4u-4-corsair-model-aircraft-kit","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
