This is a Plastic 1/48 Scale Chance-Vought F4U-1/2 Corsair Airplane
from Tamiya.
The Corsair was primarily used as an offensive fighter and ground attack
aircraft. Initial versions had poor handling on aircraft carriers and so they
served with the Marines off land-based airstrips. Pratt & Whitney R2800 engine
required the classic inverted gull wing design for acceptable propeller
clearance. Early versions were called "Birdcage Corsairs" due to the heavily
framed canopy.

Approximately 100 parts in light grey and clear with fine recessed

with foot troughs, detailed side consoles, control stick with
linkages, beautifully detailed instrument panel/front bulkhead.
