Now In Stock: Tamiya 61085 1/48 F4U-1D Corsair with Moto-Tug
The iconic F4U-1D Corsair, one of the most formidable American carrier-based aircraft of World War II, is now available in an outstanding 1/48 scale model kit from Tamiya. This kit not only captures the powerful fighter-bomber in remarkable detail, but also includes a U.S. Navy "Moto-Tug" utility vehicle—an essential piece of flight deck equipment for authentic diorama building.
The F4U-1D was introduced in April 1944 and featured improvements over its predecessors, including a raised pilot seat, bubble canopy, and reinforced wings capable of carrying bombs or rockets. It was extensively used in the Pacific Theater and played a major role in air raids on the Japanese mainland in the final year of the war.
Tamiya's kit faithfully recreates these details and offers optional parts for folded or extended wings, finely molded landing gear, and armaments. Whether you're a dedicated modeler or a history enthusiast, this is a must-have addition to your collection.
