550062 1/72 Corsair F-4U/4B
The Corsair is one of the best-known airplanes of World War Il
which fought against the entire array of aircraft used by the Japanese Forces
in the Pacific theatre. After the war the Corsairs were set aside, together
with other propeller-driven planes, to expect demolition awaiting replacement
by jet aircraft. In 1950, at the outbreak of the Korean conflict, more than one
hundred units were re-activated to combat the onslaught of the North Korean
Forces. The Corsair still proved a viable airplane, robust and reliable,
superior to the first, rather delicate jets which were to end the Corsair's
life span. Armament
included wing mounted M3 cannons, AN-M64A1 bombs and HVAR rockets. Decals for
three versions.
