History:
The Vought F4U Corsair first entered service in 1942 and quickly established a reputation as a fast, powerful carrier-based fighter. The F4U-1A introduced improved visibility with a raised cockpit and a longer tailwheel strut, while the F4U-2 was adapted for night fighting with radar equipment. Serving in the Pacific Theatre, Corsairs achieved air superiority and provided close air support during key operations, including island-hopping campaigns and the Battle of Okinawa. Their ability to absorb damage, deliver heavy firepower, and operate in challenging conditions made them a favourite among pilots. This Dual Combo kit offers modellers the opportunity to recreate two significant variants of this iconic aircraft in one package.
