Tamiya 1/32 f4u-1a corsair

With a highly complex pand;w r-2800 engine generating 2,000hp, a 4-meter propeller and striking gull wings, the corsair was certainly a memorable aircraft; it was effective, too, and was one of the mainstays of the u. S. Navy. The f4u-1a variant was assigned to units from summer 1943, and featured upgrades such as a semi-bubble canopy (to improve previously limited visibility), plus the ability to carry bombs of up to 1,000lb. It saw a large amount of action in fighting with the japanese navy around the solomon islands; the corsair continued to serve through the korean war in the guise of further variants, the bomber capability pioneered by the f4u-1a proving a most effective addition to the aircraft's inherent ability
