I bought a similar Elite Force Corsair 15 years ago but numbered 82 and had Daisy Jane as the nose art. What strikes me, both horizontal stabilizers are identical, there is not a right and a left, one is simply reversed. The same here: 7:00. So only one mold is needed. I wonder if that was the case with the real plane, I don't think so. In addition, the angle of the wings on my Corsair model was wrong, they hung down a bit. But the gull wings are the hallmark of an F4U! I made a spring steel support wire that was inserted inside the wing to set and stabilize the angle. Apart from that, they are very nice models.
One of the best 1:18 ever. With the exception of the canopy brace, the plane is flawless. In addition, the wing folding mechanism is a lot more robust than the 21st Century version which broke really easily while trying to pull the wings out. Nice video. I kept one with a different paint scheme as this one was completely fictitious, based on an airchsow aircraft.
The F4U corsair is one of my favorite aircraft, watching this unboxing has made be really want to get one of these but then i realised they sell for 500 dollars on ebay and im like i cant afford this im broke so i just have to keep watching this and enjoy the video
Japanese Imperial Navy ace, Saburo Sakai, in his Martin Caidin biography, "Samurai!" stated that while the Japanese pilots had respect for the American F4U Corsair as a high-performance fighter plane, they more feared the F6F Hellcat because the F6F was more maneuverable and could dogfight the Zero-sen. The F6F could stay with the Zero-sen for 45 degrees of a turn, something the F4U Corsair could not do. Interesting technical fact: Both the F4U and the F6F used the same 18 cylinder, double-row Pratt & Whitney Double Wasp engine giving 2,000-lbs horsepower. Yet the F4U could reach 410 mph at altitude compared to the F6F top speed of only 376 mph at altitude. The F4U was heavier than the F6F. There is no explanation for this discrepancy. In actual operation, some F4U fighter pilots claimed they could only reach about 390 to 395 mph at best. Even this speed greatly exceeded the A6M5c Zero-sen's top speed of 351 mph. That the F4U Corsair lacked maneuverability for all its high performance is attested to by both Japanese and Corsair pilots. One Japanese Zero fleeing a Corsair was able to pull up in time while its pursuing Corsair dived straight into a grove of coconut trees. Another Zero pulled up in time over the ocean surface while its pursuing Corsair dived straight into the water. Reportedly both incidents were witnessed by Japanese and Americans. The F4U Corsair was at its métier performing the well-established, dive attack and zoom climb tactics perfected early in the Pacific War.
These planes are great, but your unboxing videos are top-notch, too. I appreciate the details you add, like the note when the tailhook fell out. Thanks for sharing!
The tail wheel of the F4U Corsair was the most complex of all American fighter airplanes in WW2 and this was deliberate. The prototype Corsair and early model production Corsairs exhibited poor performance on carrier landings. There was the tendency for excessive bouncing upon landing. The Corsair tended to drop the right wing just upon landing on a carrier. The U.S. Navy felt compelled to relegate the Corsair to land operations in the beginning, giving the Corsair to the lucky Marines. The aircraft engineers tried all kinds of design solutions. What worked best ended up being a complex, multi-strut tail wheel which raised the height of the tail well above ground/carrier surface. This greatly helped but not totally cured the Corsair bounce upon landing. Evidently that was good enough. A left wing spoiler cured the tendency for the right wing to dip upon landing. The F4U still exhibited poor visibility during carrier landings due to its long nose. This problem found a solution by British Royal Navy Air Force Corsair pilots who invented the technique of approaching the carrier in a curving approach, thus giving the pilot an extended duration view of the carrier's bow from the side of the cockpit. The Americans quickly adopted this technique.
rob...you have apparently never collected/opened/seen a 1/18 scale plastic airplane. Back in the early 2000's 21st Century Toys was the place to go for said airplanes...had purchased and displayed 46 from the den ceiling....of course, they were just $30.00 to $50.00 each back then. They are VERY sturdy and what appears to be aggression is actually, usually necessary to slide the contents of the display box out. Had belonged to the Small Scale HQ forum for a few years, used the name der Vogelfänger. Many good people and fellow serious collectors. Nice video CR!!!
Really enjoying these. I’d love to have gotten the harrier you have. I have a lot of these including helicopters. I’ve got the bbi f16 and f18 apart and in storage in their boxes but they’re very sought after and demand high prices on eBay! Keep up the vids! 😎
@@MilitaryVehicleReviews if you’re interested they did some awesome helicopters too! The 21st century cobras are super rare and sought after! The merit Hueys are really awesome and the bbi helicopters are great also!
The penultimate Corsair was the F4U-4, which could achieve 440 mph. It came armed with four, Hispano 20mm cannon. The U.S. Navy adopted 20mm cannon long before the USAAF and its successor, the USAF, despite the WW2 P-38 Lighting carrying one 20mm cannon in the nose.. In mid-1945 Vought Corporation on behalf of the U.S. Navy was developing even faster Corsair prototypes, reaching 460 mph, with heated, pressurized cockpits, spring power assisted ailerons, et al. The Japanese unconditional surrender ended all further developments and the last Corsair would remain the F4U-4. By this time the Navy and USAAF were about to introduce the first generation jet fighters. The generation of high-powered propeller fighter airplanes had advanced as far as the technology would go. The age of the jet fighter had arrived.
I had 6 of these. Including the Corsair. Had the WW2 planes. Got them all at Walmart for $40 apiece. Had them hanging to display and after a couple yrs my wife said that’s enough. Sold them for $650. Wanted to keep them, but with my RC planes it was to much.
Ah the BBI Marines Dream F4U Corsair. BBI does an excellent job with detail and so fourth on their planes. Their F6F Hellcat, which I own, blew me away with the quality and detail they put in it. I would love to have the Marines Dream Corsair but the prices they are asking on Ebay for it is way out of my league. I saw one going for $500!!! Excellent video.
As these big snap-together planes go, this one of the nicest I've seen on YT. Some Q's however: These planes cost a lot, do they not? Isn't it just a "buying" hobby? Do you not miss the pride that comes with building and painting a kit model? Just curious!
@@nelsonc6173 Hard to understand how a company can go out of business when they have such a great product. I would like to buy one but they appear to be sold out everywhere.

The Corser was the best airplane out of World War II. In my opinion I’ve always liked them.
