F4U Corsair

The F4U Corsair was the most powerful carrier-based fighter-bomber of World War II. It was equipped with the largest engine available at that time, the 2,000 hp, 18-cylinder Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp radial engine. This warplane was the first US aircraft to fly over 400 mph in level flight. It had an unusual inverted gull wing design. This design allowed for a short undercarriage while using a large - diameter propeller required by the powerful engine. Recommended for ages 14 and up. The set includes one metal sheet and illustrated instructions.

To use your F4U Corsair model, first, carefully read through the illustrated instructions. These instructions will guide you step - by - step on how to assemble the model using the metal sheet. When handling the metal sheet, be careful not to cut yourself on the edges. During assembly, make sure all parts fit together snugly. Once assembled, display your model in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent any discoloration. To maintain it, you can use a soft cloth to gently dust the model every few weeks. If you notice any loose parts, refer back to the instructions to re - secure them properly.
