Tamiya 60775 1/72 F4U-1A Corsair

This is Tamiya’s 1/72 scale plastic model of the Vought F4U-1A Corsair. While the maneuverability and power of the F4U-1 fighter were adequate, limited all-round visibility resulting from the early frame-like canopy, and the tendency for the left and right wings to stall at different speeds indicated the need for improvements resulting in the new F4U -1A. The improvements included the implementation of a new bubble canopy for better all-around visibility, a longer rear wheel leg for better forward visibility, and an almost hardly evident 15cm strip attached to the leading edge of the right wing to ensure that both wings decelerate in the same way. The completed model is 14.1cm long and 17.3cm wide.
