Among the different variants of the Corsair, the F4U-1 was the first to be mass-produced and it featured a characteristic framed canopy that was referred to as a \"Birdcage.\" They were deployed to the Pacific in February 1943 and became feared by Japanese forces due to their speed and firepower. A nightfighter version, designated F4U-2, was also created and featured a radar pod mounted near the wingtip of the right wing. Over 9,000 examples were produced and they were used by American, British, and New Zealand forces.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e_Accurate model kit of the \"Birdcage\" canopy Corsair includes parts to assemble either the standard F4U-1 or the F4U-2 nightfighter. _Distinctive inverted gull wing design faithfully rendered. _Highly detailed engine and cockpit.
