F4u-1 corsair flaps

Hi guys,does anyone know if any of the available 1/72 corsair kits has a deployed flap option,or is it an aftermarket only option.Cheers........Neil

I checked out all 3 Tamiya versions only the newer release has anything close to it. The have the starboard inboard flap as seperate but nothing else. The Hobyboss & Academy seem to be complete solid wing. My guess is A/M is your best bet ? Id recommend the Aires set unless you have something else in mind.

You probably already know this, but F4U-1 flaps were generally up when the plane was parked.
