Hobby Boss 80381 - 1/48 Scale F4U-1 Corsair Early WWII Model Kit - Early Version Warplane  [HB-80381]

Hobby Boss 1/48 F4U-1 Corsair Early Version Build Summary

The F4U-1 Corsair earned its place in aviation history as a rugged American fighter used in World War II and later theatre operations, instantly recognisable by its gull wing profile. The Hobby Boss 1/48 kit recreates that distinct silhouette for display and diorama work.

Brief Service History

First entering U.S. naval service around 1940 and staying in production until 1953, the Corsair enjoyed a long run among piston fighters. This kit models the early F4U-1 specification so builders can replicate the aircraft as flown in the early wartime period.

What to Expect in the Box

The model includes in excess of 190 parts to assemble an accurate replica. Moulded fuselage and wings show the correct contours and panel detail, and clear parts are supplied for a realistic canopy. Detailing in the engine bay and wheel wells provides depth for experienced builders.
