CB-2417 Vought F4U-4 Corsair

Vought F4U-4 Corsair

The Vought F4U-4 Corsair is a US Navy fighter aircraft. It was manufactured by Vought-Sikorsky Aircraft between 1942 and 1952.
The "Corsair" entered service in 1942. However, the design process dates back to 1938. The distinctive shape of the broken wings and the set back pilot's cockpit were the result of numerous modifications during the design and testing phase of the prototypes. The culmination of the work was a well-performing design that is considered by many to be the finest fighter aircraft of World War II.
Corsairs were used by American units during the Korean War. In the early days, there were dogfights between the F4U and the Jak-9 fighters, but with the arrival of the MiG-15 Corsairs in Korea, they were relegated to the role of support aircraft and night fighters. The aircraft was armed with six 12.7 mm Browning machine guns, two 450 kg bombs or eight 127 mm HVAR unguided rockets. At the controls of such a machine was the first African American pilot in the US Navy whose life was scripted.

The Vought F4U-4 Corsair kit was released under license from the Northrop Grumman concern and includes 520 high-quality components. The historical pilot figure has been enriched with an additional head that can be mounted interchangeably. The COBI fighter plane model was created with attention to the smallest detail in a scale of 1:32. It is covered with high-quality prints that will not wear out even with intensive use. The cabin opens and a figure can be placed inside. Other moving parts include ailerons, a propeller, and folding wheels. The printed markings refer to the heroic pilots from the Korean War. The aircraft can be placed on a display stand to be built. The whole set is supplemented by a display plate with the name of the aircraft model printed on it. The COBI Corsair perfectly complements the range of WWII and Korean fighter planes in 1:32 scale. It is one of the most beautiful block models, which never fails to attract attention due to the extremely characteristic appearance of broken and folded wings.
