ROYAL NEW ZEALAND AIR FORCE F4U CORSAIR THIRD IN A SERIES * In 1998, Spec Cast announced the first ever WW II "Classic Fighter Plane Series" collection due for release in a staggered format over the course of 1999. Approximately 2500 of each were made of each and represent a specific aircraft that played a historical role in WW II. This is one collection that collectors will want to add to their collections! #3 in the Classic Fighter Plane Series from Spec Cast, this sharp looking F4U Corsair is a limited edition (approximately 2500 total made), metal die-cast replica measuring over 10 inches in wing span and features rotating prop and wheels, baked enamel paint finish, hidden bank access and authentic graphics! Historical Note: "This was one of 424 Corsairs supplied to 13 different New Zealand units in 1944-45. "Kiwi" Corsairs were first used in the ground attack role during campaigns in the Solomons and the Bismarck Islands. The RNZAF used the Corsair until the late 1940's, when most were scrapped".
