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\u003eItem No : 02222\u003cbr\u003eItem Name : Vought F4U-4 Corsair\u003cbr\u003eBar Code : n\/a\u003cbr\u003eScale : 1:32\u003cbr\u003eItem Type : Static Aircraft\u003cbr\u003eModel Brief : Length: 321mm Wingspan: 390mm\u003cbr\u003eTotal Parts : 350pcs\u003cbr\u003eMetal Parts : Aileron \u0026amp; Flap shaft\u003cbr\u003ePhoto Etched Parts : Hinges\u003cbr\u003eFilm Parts : Instrument part\u003cbr\u003eResin Parts : n\/a\u003cbr\u003eTotal Sprues : 10pcs + 3pcs rubber tires +cowling\u003cbr\u003ePaint Schemes : F4U-4 white 13\/BuNo 80879 of Capt Kenneth A Walsh, VMF-222,Okinawa, June 1945\u003cbr\u003eReleased Date\u003cbr\u003eMore Features\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv style='white-space:nowrap;\"'\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\"","brand":"Trumpeter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45223494844637,"sku":"TR02222","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/0708\/0110\/files\/TR02222.png?v=1758068131","url":"https:\/\/ultimatehobbies.com.au\/products\/trumpeter-1-32-us-vought-f4u-4-corsair-plastic-model-kit-02222","provider":"Ultimate Hobbies Site","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
