F4U-1D Corsair w- Moto-Tug 1/48 Tamiya

Assembly Required Skill Level 2. Ages 12 and up.

Tamiya is proud to present yet another aircraft/ground vehicle set: the 1/48 scale F4U-1D Corsair with the all new 1/48 Moto Tug. This kit is perfect for designing the ultimate U.S. Navy Scene Diorama. Aircraft Tug or Moto-Tug tractors, as they were nicknamed, were manufactured by Ford. The Ferguson Company modified these vehicles for ease of application in the U.S. Navy by lowering clearance, and reducing wheel diameter to make it more compact. A protective panel was also added. The double-tire version of this vehicle was the BNO-40, the single-tire version was the BNO-25. Tow bars from Moto Tugs would attach to the rear landing gear or main landing gear struts. These vehicles were active in towing U.S. Naval planes to runways and hangers.
