Tamiya 60752 1/72 Vought F4U-1D Corsair - Compact WWII fighter model kit  [60752]

Corsair in miniature: the F4U-1D at 1/72

The Tamiya 60752 1/72 Vought F4U-1D Corsair reproduces the distinctive silhouette of the wartime fighter in a tidy scale suited to shelf displays. The real aircraft was powered by a Pratt & Whitney radial engine rated around 2,000 HP and used an exceptionally large propeller for its class. Its inverted gull wing is a key visual trait that the kit captures well.

Why modellers prize the F4U-1D

The F4U-1D introduced practical improvements over earlier marks, including a frameless canopy for better pilot sightlines and strengthened underwing pylons for bombs and rockets. These changes make the 1/72 subject interesting for builders focused on accuracy and service variants.

Assembly notes and presentation

Builders will find the Tamiya 1/72 Corsair delivers fine surface detail in a compact package that is simple to store and display alongside other World War II types. The small footprint makes it a good choice for collectors who want multiple examples without large cases.
