Description

Concerning the Vought F4U-1D Corsair w/ Moto-Tug The speedy Corsair debuted as the very first US fighter airplane to overcome the 400mph (644km/h) barrier. Nevertheless the initial manufacturing form of this aircraft, the F4U-1 ?Birdcage?, wasn't without its dilemmas. The port wing stall often gave the Corsair unstable landing, while the long nose and framed canopy hindered exposure. These weak points necessitated the development of improved variations for instance the latter developed F4U-1A with 18cm raised cockpit and raised back landing gear. The F4U-1D showcased clear vision canopy (two side frames removed) and had two pylons under the center wing part that could carry around a 1,000lb bomb payload. In 1944 the F4U-1D Corsair had been formally implemented as a carrier based aircraft.

After the effective release of the 1/48 Messerschmitt Me262 A-2a w/ Kettenkraftrad, Tamiya is proud to provide just one more aircraft/ground car set: the 1/48 scale F4U-1D Corsair (product 61061) aided by the new 1/48 ?Moto Tug. This kit is ideal for creating the best U.S. Navy Scene Diorama. Aircraft Tug or Moto-Tug tractors, because they had been nicknamed, had been manufactured by Ford. The Ferguson Company modified these vehicles for easy application in U.S. Navy by decreasing approval, and reducing wheel diameter to make it more compact. A protective panel had been additionally added. The double-tire form of this automobile ended up being the BNO-40, the single-tire variation was the BNO-25. Tow pubs from Moto Tugs would put on a corner landing gear or principal landing gear struts. These cars had been active in towing U.S. Naval planes to runways and hangers. The kit will feature all new components for entertainment of rockets on exterior section of wing, perfect for showing in wing-folded position. Besides the standing pilot figure of the last kit, a pilot figure become assembled tilting from the cockpit (checking towing) will be included.

This kit reproduces the double-wheel version of the Moto-Tug with minimal components for simple installation. Currently, decals the replication of three various planes are planned to be one of them kit. Driver figure as well as two forms of tow pubs (primary landing gear strut kind and back landing gear strut type) for ?Moto-Tug? will also be included.
