XF4U-1 Corsair in 1/100
XF4U-1 Corsair
In WWII the real story behind fighter design was not so much the airframe design and aerodynamics but the rapid pace of engine development. Probably the most classic example of this is with Vought's fabulous Corsair. The first aircraft to be designed for the 2,000 hp 18-cylinder Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp radial, it was truly a phenomenon when it first flew at over 400 MPH on October 1, 1940
This is Thaipaperwork’s slick little 1/100 Corsair reworked by my good friend Jeff Orcutt to the XF4U-1. He has even gone to the work of adding a complete interior in 1/100 scale!
I really look forward to building this classic little prototype of such a long line of amazing aircraft.
