Compact 1/72 Vought F4U-1 Bird Cage Corsair Overview

The Tamiya 60774 kit recreates the iconic Vought F4U-1 Bird Cage Corsair in 1/72 scale, emphasising the distinctive framed canopy and early production details. The set includes newly designed parts such as the detailed canopy and propeller, plus high quality Cartograf decals that offer four authentic squadron marking options, including the VMF-214 Black Sheep scheme.

Design Origins and Key Features

Developed from a 1938 US Navy requirement for a high performance carrier fighter, the Corsair combined an engine rated at about 2,000 hp with inverted gull wings to produce exceptional speed and climb. The Bird Cage canopy is a defining visual trait and this kit reproduces that multi-framed glazing with careful attention to scale detail.
