Tamiya 61085 - 1/48 Corsair F4U-1D with Moto-Tug - classic WWII aircraft model  [61085]

Overview of the 1/48 Corsair F4U-1D and Moto-Tug kit

The Vought F4U-1D Corsair was a standout WWII fighter, notable for speed and carrier service. This Tamiya 1/48 kit recreates the aircraft alongside a Moto-Tug ground vehicle, giving modellers a compact option for presenting aircraft and support equipment together.

Operational history and model kit faithfulness

The F4U-1D introduced a reworked canopy and landing gear to solve earlier handling and visibility problems. The kit captures those refinements and includes realistic underwing pylons for ordnance. The Moto-Tug is modelled as the Ferguson-modified support vehicle seen on wartime airstrips.

Kit features and display configurations

Tamiya supplies parts for rocket mounts and offers the wing-folded option for carrier stowage scenes. The included pilot and driver figures help stage operational moments, and the decal set provides three marking choices for different historical examples.
