Tamiya 60775 1/72 Vought F4U-1A Corsair Scale Assembly Kit  [60775]

Summary of the Tamiya 60775 Corsair kit

The Tamiya 60775 1/72 Vought F4U-1A Corsair kit provides a compact representation of a notable WWII fighter, balancing buildability with authentic detail. It is aimed at modellers who value period accuracy and display options.

Service history and improvements

Introduced in 1942, the Vought F4U-1A Corsair combined distinctive inverted gull wings with a high-powered engine, making it stand out among contemporaries. Early Corsairs had issues like limited forward visibility and uneven stalling; the 1A variant addressed these with a longer tailwheel leg, a redesigned canopy and a right-wing stall strip.

Assembly notes and kit options

The 1/72 scale kit recreates the final production F4U-1A and includes parts for a 1000lb bomb, an external fuel tank, and alternate propellers and tailwheels for varied presentations. The decal sheet contains three marking options to represent differing wartime liveries.
