------------------
The set includes the following items:
- Bag #1(resin): cockpit tub, forward fuselage, cowling with razor thin cowl
flaps, cowl front face, firewall with exhausts pipes (hollowed), prop hub,
vacformed canopy (one only).
- Bag #2(resin): horizontal stabilators with separate control surfaces and
trim tabs, rudder with separate trim tab, propeller blades, cockpit sidewalls,
some smaller parts (gunsight, stick, etc..)
- Two small decal sheets, printed by Propagteam, offering the choice of F4U-4
81192 operated by VF-114 in Gloss Sea Blue, or 97264 from NARTU OLATHE, in a
well known Gull Gray-White finish with several parts in GSB.

- Wing center section, with detailed radiator and wheel wells
- A small PE fret with instrument panel, levers and parts for the
undercarriage and doors, and an acetate film with the instrument faces.
- A very detailed instruction sheet, with colour references for the Humbrol
and Aeromaster range.
This kit is probably one of the most beautiful resin conversion I've ever
seen; I'm no Corsair expert, so I won't comment on the accuracy of this set, but
it looks very nice.
The only obvious "error" is to be seen
on the box cover : "Contains decal sheet for Korean War and National
Guard" !!!
