F4U-4 Corsair (520 parts)

The Vought F4U-4 Corsair is a fighter aircraft of the US Navy. It was manufactured by Vought-Sikorsky Aircraft between 1942 and 1952.
The "Corsair" was put into service in 1942. However, the design process dates back to 1938. The characteristic shape of the broken wings and the offset pilot's cockpit were the result of numerous modifications during the construction and testing phase of the prototypes. The culmination of the work was a design with good performance, considered by many to be the best fighter of the Second World War.
Corsairs were used by American units during the Korean War. In the early days there were dogfights between the F4U and the Yak-9 fighters, but with the arrival of the MiG-15 Corsairs in Korea they were relegated to the role of support aircraft and night fighters. The aircraft was armed with six 12.7 mm Browning machine guns, two 450 kg bombs or eight unguided 127 mm HVAR rockets. At the controls of one such aircraft was the first African-American pilot in the US Navy, whose life was written into a screenplay.

The Vought F4U-4 Corsair kit was released under license from the Northrop Grumman Corporation and contains 520 high-quality components. The historic pilot figure has been enriched with an additional head, which can be mounted interchangeably. The fighter aircraft model from COBI was created with attention to the smallest detail on a scale of 1:32. It is covered with high-quality prints that do not wear off even with intensive use. The cabin opens and a figure can be placed inside. Other moving parts include ailerons, a propeller and folding wheels. The printed markings refer to the heroic pilot from the Korean War. The airplane can be placed on a presentation stand to be built. The whole set is complemented by a display plate with the name of the aircraft model printed on it. The Corsair from COBI is the perfect addition to the range of WWII and Korean fighter aircraft in 1:32 scale. It is one of the most beautiful block models that always catches the eye with its extremely characteristic appearance of broken and folded wings.
