F4U-1 Corsair 1/72 Die Cast Model (AC008)

$19.95

2nd Lieutenant Donald L. Balch, VMF-221, Guadalcanal, 1943 flew this Spitfire MK.I.
A carrier-capable fighter aircraft that saw service in WWII and later the Korean War of the 1950s. In 1:72 scale, this aircraft is the example of the WWII F4U Corsair as flown by Don Balch of Marine Fighting Squadron (VMF-221), one of the United States Marine Corps fighter squadrons, which was also known as the 'Fighting Falcons' squadron. The Corsair proved a worthy match against the Japanese Zeros in the war over the Pacific. The squadron ended WWII with 185 air to air victories. The notable squadron aces included Donald Luther Balch, who had 5 kills. Vought manufactured the majority of Corsairs but as demand grew, both Goodyear and Brewster also produced the aircraft. From delivery of the first prototype in 1940 to the last to come off the production line in 1953, Vought manufactured 12,571 Corsairs.
