This 1:48 scale model depicts the legendary Vought F4U-4 Corsair, operated by the U.S. Navy during the Korean War, shown here in the markings used during the Battle of the Chosin (Jangjin) Reservoir in 1950.
The F4U-4 was one of the most advanced versions of the Corsair, powered by a Pratt & Whitney R-2800-18W engine delivering over 2,100 horsepower, capable of exceeding 430 mph, and equipped for both fighter and ground-attack missions.
The fuselage features engraved panel lines, a detailed radial engine, four-blade propeller, movable control surfaces, and accurately reproduced landing gear.
The cockpit includes complete instrumentation, detailed seat, reproduced harnesses, optical gunsight, and a clear openable canopy.
Armament includes six .50 cal Browning machine guns, 500 lb bombs, HVAR rockets, and external fuel tanks.
High-quality decals represent the markings of the VF-653 Squadron aboard the USS Valley Forge (CV-45), finished in authentic glossy sea blue with white tactical codes.
A model combining technical accuracy, combat realism, and the enduring spirit of the Corsair in the skies over Korea.
