Tamiya 60324 1/32 Vought F4U-1 Corsair Birdcage Model Overview

The Vought F4U-1 Corsair stands out for its inverted gull wing form and notable speed credentials. With around 2,000hp driving it past 400mph (640kph) by 1940, and armed with 12.7mm machine guns, it became a prominent fighter in the Pacific campaigns.
