Product: 1:32 F4U-1 Corsair "Birdcage"
The F4U-1 Corsair® was a truly unique aircraft, with a powerful 2,000hp
engine and a massive 4m propeller, not to mention the highly
characteristic inverted gullwings. In October of 1940, it was the first
American fighter to achieve a speed of 400mph (around 640kph). Initial
production models of the aircraft featured a striking canopy called the
"Birdcage". The aircraft took part in operations from February 1943, and
with its powerful 12.7mm machine guns proved to be a formidable opponent for the Japanese Zero Fighters.
In order to capture the aircraft as accurately as possible, Tamiya
designers not only inspected, measured and examined the real aircraft at
five different museums across North America, they were also given access
to Northrop-Grumman's blueprints. The result is a highly detailed and precise 1/32 scale model of the F4U-1 Corsair.

Sehr detailliert
Ein Superbausatz, typische Tamiya-Qualität, sehr detailliert und die spritzing sehr gut ausgearbeitet. Der Motor in Glasvariante rundet das ganze noch ab
