Chance Vought

Getting our wings ready for action! ✈️ The story of Chance Vought is that of a legendary manufacturer that built aircraft for naval combat, always pushing the limits of design and performance. Founded in 1917 by Chance M. Vought, the company specialized in creating rugged and powerful planes that could operate from aircraft carriers.

Its masterpiece, an absolute icon for any modeler, is the F4U Corsair. With its huge engine and distinctive “inverted gull” wings, the Corsair was an unstoppable force in the air during World War II and a challenge for any modeler who wants to replicate its unique shape. Later, in the jet age, Vought gave us the F-8 Crusader, known as “the last of the gunfighters” for its combination of supersonic speed and lethal cannons. Although the company has merged and changed names, its legacy lives on in every one of its planes that became legends of the air.
