Nicknamed “Whistling Death” by Japanese ground troops who recognized the engine sound caused by the wing-root inlets, the F4U Corsair has had a rich history. Regarded by many as the most formidable of all WWII American fighters, the F4U Corsair was a versatile, carrier-capable aircraft that provided excellent air and ground support. When it came to aerial combat, the Corsair’s record was very impressive: For every Corsair lost in battle in the Pacific theatre, this agile warbird took down eleven enemy planes. Now, pilots can rule the skies at their flying field with the new Top Flite .60-size F4U Corsair ARF – a model that combines Gold Edition™ engineering with easy ARF assembly!
Built-up and sheeted wood construction
Multi-section flaps are incorporated into the distinctive gull wing and are completely operational
Recessed gauges on the instrument panel add scale realism to the cockpit
Pre-hinged ailerons and flaps reduce assembly time and effort; hidden rudder and elevator linkages enhance the plane’s scale appearance
Flat-finish MonoKote covering and decal set help this ARF stay true to the look of a combat-tested warbird. The fiberglass cowl, tail access panel and belly pan are painted to match.
