Title:  TopDrawings 73, Chance Vought F4U Corsair

Author: Maciej Noszczak

Publisher:  Kagero

ISBN:  978-83-66148-21-5

​

Number 73 in the TopDrawings series from Kagero, with both 1/48 and 1/72 scale drawings of a good number of variants. As is usual with the series, there are some excellent colour profiles in the centre pages and on the back cover. Tuckes into the book as a separate sheet with the 1/48 plan views and another separate page of an excellent painting of a US Navy Corsair in action, ideal to pop in a clip frame and hang on your wall.

The plans highlight the slight differences between the different marks, and I for one learnt something new, with the different shape to the tip of the main wings on the later versions, including some used by the Royal Navy. One of these, a Corsair Mk 2 with the Fleet Air Arm, 757Sqn, on HMS Unicorn in July 1944 is the subject of the excellent colour artwork on the centre pages of the book itself.

​

Another good addition to this series from Kagero.
