Realistic model of the Vought SBU-1 Corsair aircraft

The original Vought SBU aircraft was a pioneering scout bomber, designed and produced in the United States in the 1930s. The machine entered service with the US Navy in 1935 and was operated until the early years of World War II. Although it did not participate in large-scale combat, it was an important milestone in the development of naval aviation, combining the functions of a bomber and a reconnaissance aircraft. The SBU-1 was used mainly on American aircraft carriers during training exercises, maneuvers, and patrols in the pre–World War II era—the so-called interwar period.
