Vacuform Model Kit
This kit includes optional parts (down to the wheel pants) and decals to build any the many variants listed. The O3U-3/SU was developed from the O3U series and was a significant improvement over the first Corsair. Seventy-six were produced as -3s and served as observation/float planes for the battle fleet. Sixty-five of the -SU variants were produced and saw a variety of rolls with the Navy and Marines. This was Vought's last production biplane and it was loved by crews. They were taken out of fleet service in 1941 but served in various rolls before being scrapped during mid-WWII. Esoteric was known for making perhaps the finest vacuform kits. The white vac parts are so fine that they are better than some injection molded kits. Features all parts required for construction, very good cockpit, metal details and extruded strut material. Never started. The small parts are still in the factory sealed bag; the white vac parts are uncut, untouched and 100% complete. Includes painting guides and decals and excellent instructions. The RAF tested a Corsair II in 1933 and a painting & marking guide is included for that aircraft; however, Esoteric clearly states that they did not provide the decals for this version. Please note that there may be very neat, adult research notes written on the instructions. These are professionally done and very helpful.
