It was in production longer than any other US fighter in World War II (1942-1952) with 12,571 built, some of which remained in service as late as 1965.The F4U-4 is a version 2.01 addition to War birds. This Corsair saw service in the final stages of the Pacific War. The F4U-4 Corsair used the Pratt \u0026amp; Whitney R2800-18W, later upgraded to the R2800-42W. This engine required more air, creating the need to re-design the nose with the distinctive chin intake. The exhaust system was also re-designed with exhaust outlets both above and below the wings. The other major change was a complete re-design of the cockpit, making it more ergonomic. This included a new cockpit floor, new consoles, re-designed instrument panel, and a simplified seat which consisted of a bucket-type base and a flat armored plate for a back rest. The F4U-4 first saw combat at the battle for Okinawa in 1945. The F4u-4 also participated in combat in Korea. It was the fastest, best dogfighter of the series. The Corsair was definitely the longest-lived of the Navy fighters of WWII, its last combat sortie being in 1971 with El Salvador, and the F4U-4 was considered the ‘ultimate’ Corsair. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eItem No    02222\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eItem Name    Vought F4U-4 Corsair\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBar Code    n\/a\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eScale    1:32\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eItem Type    Static Aircraft\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eModel Brief    Length: 321mm Wingspan: 390mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTotal Parts    350pcs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMetal Parts    Aileron \u0026amp; Flap shaft\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhoto Etched Parts    Hinges\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFilm Parts    Instrument part\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eResin Parts    n\/a\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTotal Sprues    10pcs + 3pcs rubber tires +cowling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaint Schemes    F4U-4 white 13\/BuNo 80879 of Capt Kenneth A Walsh, VMF-222,Okinawa, June 1945\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReleased Date\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"ACS-brand-co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31694496989277,"sku":"02222","price":89.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2614\/5014\/products\/9F36D354-891D-48D6-A9B9-2541236FAE89.jpg?v=1576717515","url":"https:\/\/hobbyshopmelbourne.com.au\/products\/trumpeter-vought-f4u-4-corsair-1-32","provider":"Hobby Shop Melbourne","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
