Description
11 to 1

Powered by a 2,000 hp engine and a massive 13 4 (4 m) propeller, the F4U-1 Corsair was the fastest single-engine fighter of its era. This incredible speed was matched by supreme maneuverability and a total of six .50 caliber machine guns. All combined created a fighter with which the US Navy racked up a 11 to 1 kill ratio during WWII. Long after the war ended, the navy kept producing with 12,571 produced from 1942-1953. Kit features foldable wings, detailed cockpit and engine, pilot figure, rotating propeller and two sets of USN decals.

Background information:

The Vought Corsair is one of the iconic aircraft of World War II and was a feared enemy, especially in the Pacific region. With its distinctive folded wings and impressive firepower from six 12.7 mm Browning machine guns, it was nicknamed the "Whispering Death" by the Japanese troops. The ground troops they received as air support affectionately nicknamed them the “Sweetheart of Okinawa.” An airplane with history that you can now hold in your hands and recreate.
