Full Description
Another classic warbird from the designs by Brian Taylor, this 1:6 scale ‘gull-winged’ fighter came 3rd in the 1995 British F4C Nationals. The model is of conventional all wood construction and moulded accessories are available, along with a laser-cut wood pack and an Additional Wood Pack. This aeroplane is designed to be powered by two-stroke or four-stroke engines, but experienced modellers should be able to convert it to electric power (details not supplied, so please send us information if you make a successful EP version!) It is not suitable for beginners, either building or model flying.
The Full Size: The Chance-Vought F4U Corsair is an American fighter aircraft that saw service primarily in World War II and the Korean War. Demand for the aircraft soon overwhelmed Vought’s manufacturing capability, resulting in production by Goodyear and Brewster. The Corsair was designed as a carrier based aircraft but its difficult carrier landing performance rendered it unsuitable for navy use until the carrier landing issues were overcome by the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm. The Corsair saw it’s greatest deployment as a land based aircraft used by the U.S. Marines. After the carrier landing issues had been tackled it quickly became the most capable carrier based fighter-bomber of World War II. The Corsair served almost exclusively as a fighter-bomber throughout the Korean War and during the French colonial wars in Indochina and Algeria.

What’s in a Laser or CNC Cut Wood Pack?
What’s in an Additional Wood Pack?
Our Additional Wood Packs contain MOST of the necessary sheet and strip wood needed to complete a model being built from a Sarik Hobbies plan and using the associated Laser Cut Wood Pack, if available. We stock a wide range of balsa, ply and spruce in popular sheet and strip sizes but even so we cannot guarantee to be able to supply all the wood necessary to complete each model. So some additional purchases may be required from other modeling wood stockists if not available from Sarik Hobbies. Our Additional Wood Packs only contain balsa, ply and spruce wood in the stock sizes as used by our suppliers and do not include other materials that may be required to complete the model such as hardwoods, metals & GRP sheets.

What’s in a Short Kit?
A short kit usually contains, where available, the plan, the laser/CNC cut wood pack, additional wood pack, canopy, cowl or any other available Glass Fibre or plastic moulded items.
