First flown in May 1940, this gull winged wonder was deemed a winner from the out-set. The Navy was so confident in the Corsair that rival companies Brewster and Goodyear were made alternate contractors for the initial order of 584 aircraft. With a top speed of 415mph and a rate of climb of 3,120 feet per minute, the Corsair was the fastest plane in the world at the time. Unacceptable aircraft carrier landing performance however, caused the F4U-1 to become a land-based fighter with the U.S. Marine Corps at the beginning of its career. In November 1941, the U.S. Navy requested Vought to produce a radar-equipped version of the F4U-1; however, they were too occupied with production to accomplish the request. The task was turned over to the Naval Aircraft Factory which produced 32 of the 34 F4U-2 Corsairs made. Obvious changes were adding a radome to the outboard leading edge of the right wing and removal of the outboard .50 caliber machine gun to offset the radar domes weight. These 2 night fighting Corsairs became the pioneers in developing the technology that led to U.S. night fighting tactics employed throughout WWII.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore to read about the KIT \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.scalemates.com\/fr\/kits\/tamiya-61046-chance-vought-f4u-1-2-bird-cage-corsair--106391\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e, thanks to scalemates, a Belgian Scale modeling database\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TAMIYA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53421642154330,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3015\/9446\/files\/IMG_2014_e18e240b-f8f5-4e42-81bb-f73e2f9fbe98.JPG?v=1769252151","url":"https:\/\/aviation.brussels\/products\/maquette-a-monter-chance-vought-f4u-1-2-bird-cage-corsair-tamiya-n-61046-1-48-like-new-inside-unopened","provider":"aviation.brussels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
