Nicknamed for its heavily framed canopy, this powerful gull-winged fighter was thrown into action with the U.S. Marines in the Solomon Islands from early 1943. Its potent 2,000hp engine, high speed, and heavy armament quickly established it as a formidable opponent, proving more than a match for the Japanese Zero fighter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 1\/32 scale Tamiya kit is a masterpiece of plastic engineering, offering a definitive replica of the early \"Birdcage\" Corsair. It provides an incredible range of build options, including the choice to build the wings folded or extended, flaps and elevators up or down, and the landing gear deployed or retracted for an in-flight display on the included stand. A removable engine cowling reveals a breathtakingly detailed Pratt \u0026amp; Whitney R-2800 engine, making this the ultimate modelling experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eCan be built with the distinctive gull wings in the folded or extended position\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eLanding gear and tail wheel can be assembled in deployed or retracted positions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eA removable two-piece cowling reveals a super-detailed P\u0026amp;W R-2800 engine\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cockpit is highly detailed and features the unique \"floor window\" of the early Corsair\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaint Options:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncludes 3 marking options for U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps aircraft\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhoto-etched parts for seatbelts and oil cooler mesh provide ultimate realism\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo figures (a seated pilot and a standing pilot) are included\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eGenuine Tamiya Product\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eScale: 1\/32\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eLength: 318mm (12.52\")\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eWingspan: 390mm (15.35\")\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeight: N\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003ePieces: N\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eDecal Schemes: 3\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkill Level: Experienced\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncluded Items\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Model Kit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e2x Figures (Seated \u0026amp; Standing)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Photo-Etched Fret\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Set of Synthetic Rubber Tyres\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Sheet Of Canopy Masking Stickers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Display Stand\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Decal Sheet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Historical Information Booklet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Full-Colour Painting Guide\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Instruction Manual\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRequired Items\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlastic Safe Paint\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eModelling Glue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Tweezers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Scissors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Modelling Knives\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Modelling Files\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TAMIYA","offers":[{"title":"Hobbyco","offer_id":40426711482569,"sku":"10032389","price":190.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hobbies Direct","offer_id":40426426237129,"sku":"10032389","price":199.72,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/9803\/5810\/files\/20a4a196d1944bd9916c77f3dfff3844.webp?v=1760582644","url":"https:\/\/www.jbhifi.com.au\/products\/tamiya-1-32-vought-f4u-1-corsair-birdcage-fighter-scaled-plastic-model-kit","provider":"JB Hi-Fi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
