The Aires 2021 set recreates with the highest precision the characteristic cockpit of the F4U-1A Corsair fighter aircraft, which was one of the most effective American fighters during World War II. The Corsair was especially renowned in battles in the Pacific, including the Battle of Guadalcanal and the Okinawa campaign. This aircraft was primarily used by the US Navy and Marines, as well as the Royal Navy. The F4U was famous for its exceptional durability and high speed, while its advanced, ergonomic cockpit layout was one of the factors contributing to its superiority.

The Aires cockpit set is made of high-quality resin, which enables faithful reproduction of details impossible to achieve with standard plastic. The set includes such elements as precisely rendered cockpit sidewalls, instrument panel, pilot’s seat, pedals, control sticks, and small accessories. An additional advantage is the inclusion of photo-etched (PE) parts, which allow for subtle details—seatbelts, instrument frames, and information nameplates.
