LEGO F4U-4 Corsair MOC

Hey all! Jack here again, and this time I'm here to show you all my LEGO MOC of an F4U-4 Corsair, used by the U.S. Navy during the latter parts of World War II.

The F4U Corsair was a fighter aircraft used by the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Marine Corps during World War II, continuing to serve even after the Korean War. During the Second World War, it was a fierce opponent to aircraft such as the Mitsubishi A6M Zero, obtaining a 12:1 kill ratio over the previously dominant fighter. The variant I built is the F4U-4, primarily seeing action in 1945 against aircraft like the Nakajima Ki-84, Kawanishi N1K, and the Mitsubishi J2M -- over which Corsairs still retained a 6:1 kill ratio over, combined. The F4U-4 had a more powerful engine relative to its predecessors, and attained further aerodynamic performance. It was indeed a legendary, formidable fighter during the last leg of World War II.

The model itself features working landing gear, a cockpit with room for a minifigure, folding wings and dihedral. This is a model I worked hard at for a while, but as of now I'm relatively happy with the result thus far. However, don't hesitate to let me know what you think! Comments, faves, and constructive critiques -- as always, are highly appreciated!
