Italeri 1313 1/72 Scale F4U-7 Corsair - Classic WWII Display Kit  [IT-1313S]

Italeri 1/72 F4U-7 Corsair plastic scale kit

This Italeri 1/72 F4U-7 Corsair model kit gives hobbyists a faithful way to recreate one of World War II's most recognisable fighters. The Corsair earned a strong reputation in the Pacific Theatre for its performance in air combat and remains a favourite among scale aircraft collectors.

Combat history and model accuracy

Initially judged unsuitable for carrier operations, the F4U Corsair went on to prove its capability in combat, credited with over 2,000 Japanese aircraft downed during WWII. It later saw service with French Naval Aviation in conflicts such as Indochina and the Suez Campaign. The kit reflects that legacy with period-accurate lines and markings.

Assembly appeal and presentation

The 1/72 scale captures the Corsair's distinctive gull wing and sturdy airframe. Builders will find the assembly rewarding, and the finished model makes an attractive piece for a WWII aviation display or shelf collection.
