With the administrative mismanagement of Brewster Aeronautical Corporation in the early 1940s, the Vought company bought the failing company. A Brewster project for a land-based heavy fighter was modified to use some Vought Corsair sub-assemblies, and entered service in 1943 as the P-48 Brawler. Heavily armed and armored, the P-48 was capable of carrying large amounts of external ordinance or fuel, making it a very versatile fighter, capable of ground attack or long-range escort missions.
Seen here is a P-48C of the 361 Fighter Group in early 1944. The aircraft is carrying three external drop tanks, giving the aircraft a range in the escort role of over 1100 miles.
The model: 1/72 Corsair - forward fuselage, vertical tail, canopy, outboard drop tanks; P-47 wings, engine, prop, cowling, lower fuselage belly, centerline drop tank; MiG-3 horizontal stabilizers (look like Brewster to me!); Unknown - prop spinner.
