Tamiya 60324 1/32 Vought F4U-1 Corsair Birdcage in Precision Scale

The Vought F4U-1 Corsair is famous for its unique inverted gull wings and potent performance. Powered by a roughly 2,000hp engine and able to top 400mph (640kph) by 1940, it carried 12.7mm machine guns and became a key fighter in the Pacific Theater during WWII.
