This is a Giant 3/4" Scale Balsa F4U-4 Corsair Flying Model Kit from Guillow's.
                          For Experienced Modelers.

     Nicknamed the "Sweetheart of Okinawa" by the U.S. Marines and "Whistling
Death" by the Japanese, the Corsair performed effectively in two wars--the
Pacific conflict of WWII and the Korean engagement of the early 1950's.

FEATURES: A balsa skeleton framework is assembled and covered with a tissue
            and dope finish.
          Designed to be flown rubber powered, .049 free flight or .09
            control line.
          The fuselage is roomy enough to accept simple R/C equipment (with a
            .049-.07 engine) but instructions and diagrams for this are not
            included.
          Makes a magnificent display piece if built as a non-flying model.
