The revolutionary F4U Corsair was originally designed in 1938 in response to a US Navy request for a high speed carrier-based fighter. US Navy carrier trails of the plane were disappointing, however, and the plane was relegated to land-based role. It performed admirably from the ground and saw extensive use during the latter stages of WWII and later during the Korean War in service with both the Navy and the Marines. Kit features fully engraved panel lines & rivet detail, detailed cockpit interior and landing gear, and decals. Paint colors needed: Navy Blue, Medium Blue, White, Gloss Sea Blue, Black, Yellow, Yellow Green, Green, Flesh, Sky Grey, Deck Tan, Buff, Olive Green, Red Brown, Blue, Red, Yellow, Gunmetal, and Chrome Silver.
