1/72 Scale Vought F4U-1 Bird Cage Corsair Description

The Tamiya 60774 kit represents the Vought F4U-1 Bird Cage Corsair at 1/72 scale, highlighting the aircrafts characteristic framed canopy and early production lines. Parts include a newly designed canopy and propeller, and the kit is supplied with Cartograf decals that enable four different squadron liveries, including the famous VMF-214 Black Sheep design.

Aircraft Background and Notable Details

Conceived to satisfy a 1938 US Navy specification for a superior carrier fighter, the Corsair combined a roughly 2,000 hp powerplant with inverted gull wings to reach outstanding speed. The Bird Cage version is especially noted for its multi-pane canopy, which this model seeks to reproduce faithfully at scale.

What scale is this Tamiya model and what does that mean for display?

This is a 1/72 scale kit, meaning the finished model is small enough for crowded display cabinets yet detailed enough to show the Bird Cage canopy and squadron markings clearly.

Does the kit include multiple marking choices?

Yes, Cartograf decal sheets are included with four historically accurate marking options, providing variety for collectors and modellers.
