Model Set F4U-4 Corsair, 1/72 - Revell 63955

Revell F4U-4 Corsair Model Set 63955 is a model kit to be assembled at a scale of 1/72, depicting the famous American carrier-based fighter, the Vought F4U-4 Corsair. This box set includes the kit, the instruction sheet, a decal sheet, three main paints, a paintbrush, and glue.

The F4U-4 Corsair

The Corsair is recognizable by its inverted W-shaped wing, a silhouette that has become iconic in American naval aviation. The F4U-4 version belongs to the late evolution of this propeller-driven aircraft family, used by the US Navy after the Second World War and during the Korean War.

A detailed reproduction at 1/72 scale

This Revell model kit includes 65 parts. Once assembled, it measures 148 mm in length with a 173 mm wingspan. At 1/72 scale, each real-world dimension is reduced by a factor of 72, a format appreciated for collections of military aircraft and small dioramas.

The assembly allows you to depict several characteristic elements of the Corsair:

• twin radial engine;
• detailed cockpit;
• detailed landing gear;
• movable propeller;
• two additional fuel tanks;
• two bombs.

Proposed decor

The decal sheet lets you build a Vought F4U-4B Corsair from the Naval Air Reserve Training Unit of the US Navy, based in Jacksonville, Florida, in June 1954.

Assembly and finishing

The kit provides the essential elements to begin assembly and painting. Careful preparation of the parts—clean separation from the sprues and light sanding/deburring if necessary—helps achieve crisp seams. Decals are applied to a smooth, dry surface; then a clear finishing varnish can be used to even out the model’s appearance and protect the decoration.
