Chance-Vought F4U-1 Corsair (61.5")

Widely regarded as possibly the best carrier-borne fighter of WWI, the powerful F-4U Corsair dominated the war in the Pacific with a kill ratio of 11:1. Introduced in 1942, over 12000 Corsairs were built, with some still in service into the 1970s. Designed by Brian Taylor, this 1:6 scale, 2,082mm (61.5”) wingspan R/C model plan of the Corsair builds into a very accurate scale model, even though not for the beginner, it builds into a fabulous model. The big three-sheet plan includes details of retractable undercarriage and working flaps. The model is of all-wood construction, but a moulded cockpit canopy, engine cowling, wing crank fairings and a metal propeller spinner are available. A laser-cut wood-pack is also available that contains most of the shaped wood parts needed such as fuselage formers and wing ribs.
