F4U Corsair Steel Model Kit

F4U Corsair 

The most capable carrier based fighter-bomber of World War II featured the largest engine available at the time: the 2,000 hp, 18-cylinder Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp radial. It was the first US warplane to exceed 400 mph in level flight. The plane featured an unusual inverted gull wing to keep the undercarriage short while allowing the use of the large diameter propeller demanded by the powerful engine.

Steel Model Kit recommended for ages 14+. No glue needed.

Parts can be easily clipped from the metal sheets and as shown above, tweezers make an ideal tool for bending or twisting connection tabs.
