Italeri F4 U-7 Corsair

The Italeri F4 U-7 Corsair (HC-1313) celebrates one of the most successful carrier-based fighters of the Second World War. Initially judged by U.S. Navy experts as unsuitable for carrier use due to its large cantilever wing design, the Corsair went on to build an exceptional combat reputation.

About The F4U Corsair

In the Pacific theatre alone, the F4U achieved over 2,000 aerial victories against only 189 losses, a kill-to-loss ratio that remains unparalleled. Its operational career spanned a full decade, with production continuing until December 1952—making it the longest-produced American aircraft after the Second World War. Beyond U.S. service, the Corsair also saw extensive use with French Naval Aviation during the war in Indochina and the Suez campaign of 1956, underscoring its versatility and effectiveness across multiple conflicts.

This Italeri release provides aviation enthusiasts and scale modellers with a compelling homage to a legendary WWII naval fighter. Brand: Italeri. Part number: HC-1313.
