Tamiya 1/48 C.Vought V.F4U-1/2 Bird Cage Corsair Plane Plastic Model Kit

Nb: this kit excludes glues, tools and paints required for assembly

The F4U Corsair was a WWII American fighter aircraft that was distinguished by its inverted gull wing design, which accommodated the 4m diameter propeller without having to resort to overly long landing gear legs. It's Pratt & Whitney Double Wasp engine produced 2,000hp and allowed the Corsair to reach a maximum speed of 636km/h. Among the different variants of the Corsair, the F4U-1 was the first to be mass-produced and it featured a characteristic framed canopy that was referred to as a "Birdcage." They were deployed to the Pacific in February 1943 and became feared by Japanese forces due to their speed and firepower. A night fighter version, designated F4U-2, was also created and featured a radar pod mounted near the wingtip of the right wing. Over 9,000 examples were produced and they were used by American, British, and New Zealand forces.

The accurate model kit of the "Birdcage" canopy Corsair includes parts to assemble either the standard F4U-1 or the F4U-2 night fighter. Distinctive inverted gull wing design faithfully rendered. Highly detailed engine and cockpit. One pilot figure is included. Includes parts for 1,000lb bombs and drop tanks. Comes with four marking options.
This model assembly kit recreates the 2021 Toyota GR 86 as a 1/24 Sports Car Series product. While the lightweight front- engine and wide body with low center of gravity are carried over from the first generation 86 (2012), the Toyota GR 86 is powered by a bigger 2.4-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder DOHC engine capable of 235hp for powerful performance. The aluminium engine hood, roof and front fenders are lightweight and rigid. This car also employs air outlets, side sill spoilers, and other parts to bring improved aerodynamic efficiency and steering responsiveness.
