## Description

This is a 1/72 Plastic F4U-1 Corsair Model Kit from Academy Plastics. The F4U was designed in 1938 to meet the U.S. Navy's need for a high-speed carrier-based fighter. The governing principle behind the design of this plane was to place the largest possible engine in the smallest frame. This changed the possible landing gear configurations and ultimately resulted in the introduction of the inverted gullwing. While the plane proved to be unsuitable for carrier operation, it was used extensively in a land-based role. Features:Plastic pieces attached to sprues and molded in light blue. The surface of the plane is decorated with fully engraved panel lines and rivet detail. Highly detailed cockpit interior includes a seat and controls. Authentic engine assembly with propeller. Modelers have the option of attaching an assortment of bombs and an external fuel cell to the fuselage. Clear plastic canopy allows close inspection of cockpit. Detailed pictorial instructions guide you through assembly.Tech Specs:Scale: 1/72 Length: 5" (12.6cm) Width: 6-3/4" (17.1cm) Height: 2" (5cm) Includes: One 1/72 Plastic F4U-1 Corsair Model Kit Requires:Assembly Cement Paint Brushes Sprue Cutter Modeling Knife File or Emery Board Scissors Tweezers Water for Decals Glue Tips or Toothpicks Cloth Adult Supervision

13yo daughter built this for a school project and loved how it went together. It was her first model like this and she was able to do everything on her own with no instruction from me. The kit was well organized and instructions were very clear.
