Another great story lies behind the latest Chance Vought F-4U 1D Corsair that has just flown into the 1:72 scale Oxford Aviation World War II airfield.

The Vought F-4U Corsair was a single seater American fighter aircraft which saw service primarily in World War II. It was designed as a carrier-based machine and the F4U-1D version was an upgrade to carry a payload of rockets carried on permanent launching rails, as well as twin pylons for bombs or drop tanks. These modifications caused extra drag, but the additional fuel carried by the two drop tanks would still allow the aircraft to fly relatively long missions despite heavy loads. Other initial Vought Corsair design problems led to revised shorter wings being adopted to fit the limited hanger accommodation on board. Also a clear view cockpit canopy and the improved height of the pilot seat gave essential added visibility. Our Oxfords model incorporates the physical refinements of the F-4U- 1D variant.

The aircraft carrier USS Gilbert Islands was a Commencement-Bay class escort carrier of the US Navy. She was diverted from manoeuvres off Hawaii in April 1945 and deployed with an escort carrier force whose task was to close Okinawa. Aboard were her fleet of Vought F-4U Corsairs and the US Marine Corps VMF-512 Squadron. The USS Gilbert Islands arrived off the coast of Okinawa in May and during the ensuing Battle of Okinawa. VMF-512 aircraft blasted and strafed concrete dugouts, troop concentrations, ammunition and fuel dumps. Then they helped neutralize outlying Japanese airfields and installations. The squadron remained carrier based and at the end of the War, as part of the post-war drawdown of forces, VMF-512 was decommissioned on 10 March 1946.

'The Mad Cossack' was No. 26 in the Corsair fleet which took part in the Okinawa raid and was so named because of the white nose art. The art is printed on both sides of the front fuselage and the No. 26 appears in white on the edge of the engine cowling and on the upright tail fin. The aircraft body colour is a rich midnight blue and the printed decoration is all finished in white. The cockpit is moulded in green inside the bubble enhanced canopy.

Although not a lot is known about the pilots who flew 'The Mad Cossack', one was Lt Ron Spjeldet, who lived until he was 93 years old and went on to fight in the Korean War in the early 1950s.

Not as good as the oem accessories
Color: Saros 10r-20/Qrevo Curvx Accessories, Color: Saros 10r-20/Qrevo Curvx Accessories
I have a roborock saros 10r and all of these accessories seem to be compatible and work with my robovac however the quality of them isn’t nearly the same level. The mop pads material are much coarser and less fine than the original. The side brushed bristles weren’t nearly as tightly bound together. The roller brush isn’t as well made. The cleaning performance I think is similar but i suspect they will not last as long as the oem accessories which are just much better made. Over it’s a mix on value.

All the parts needed to maintain your Roborock robot, with a great fit and finish.
Color: Saros 10r-20/Qrevo Curvx Accessories, Color: Saros 10r-20/Qrevo Curvx Accessories
This is a great consumable parts replacement package for many Roborock robots. I utilized it for my Saros 10R. The parts all fit great and honestly look and feel just like the OEM parts that came with the robot. Over time, I have purchased new consumable parts for my Saros 10R from various sources, but I think that I will be using this kit in the future. The kit comes with everything one needs to maintain Roborock robots, as outlined in its description. The main brushes are of good quality and fit well. I have found that the main brushes and the filter fit are the hardest things for third-party vendors to duplicate, and these do that well. What I like most is the mop heads. They are of very good quality and may be better than the OEM mop heads. Everything in this kit fits well and mimics the manufacturer's parts closely in both quality and fit. Compared to the cost of Roborock OEM parts, this is a home run.

Nice Value Replacement Kit for the Qrevo CurvX, Brushes Slightly Less Dense Than OEM
Color: Saros 10r-20/Qrevo Curvx Accessories, Color: Saros 10r-20/Qrevo Curvx Accessories
All of the included items fit my Roborock Qrevo CurvX nicely, and the material quality is fairly close to the OEM parts. I also liked the quantity of each item included, since it should be quite a while before I need to buy another replacement kit. The only downside I noticed was that the main roller brushes have about 1/4 fewer bristles than the OEM versions, so they don't seem quite as dense. Other than that, everything fits as expected and the kit seems like a solid value for maintaining the CurvX.

Reliable Replacement Parts That Work Well
Color: Saros 10r-20/Qrevo Curvx Accessories
These replacement parts have worked very well with our machine so far. The fit was accurate, installation was straightforward, and everything lined up the way it should without needing any adjustments. Performance has been just as good as the original parts we were replacing. Once installed, the machine operated normally, and I haven’t noticed any issues with function or compatibility during regular use. Overall, this is a dependable set of replacement parts to keep on hand for routine maintenance or unexpected breakdowns. Having extras available makes repairs a lot easier when something eventually wears out or needs to be swapped.

Solid replacement kit for the Roborock Saros - everything you need in one pack
Color: Saros 10r-20/Qrevo Curvx Accessories, Color: Saros 10r-20/Qrevo Curvx Accessories
Everything in this kit fits my Roborock Saros without any issues. The main brushes, side brushes, mop pads, filters, and dust bags all installed the same way as the originals, and nothing felt loose or off. The kit comes with a lot of parts too, so I have plenty of spares to work through before needing to reorder anything. The quality on the individual pieces looks good. The main brushes feel solid and the rubber fins on them look well formed. The mop pads have a dense microfiber texture on one side and a rougher scrubbing surface on the other, and they feel comparable to the OEM pads. The dust bags are the sealed filter bag style with the gray plastic collar, same as the stock ones, and the filters look like they have the same fine media as the originals. Overall this is a good replacement kit if you have one of the compatible Saros models and want to stock up on all your consumables at once.
