Hobby Boss 1/48 F4U-1 Corsair Late Version: Classic Pacific Fighter in Miniature

The Hobby Boss 1/48 F4U-1 Corsair Late Version recreates the iconic gull-wing silhouette and naval airframe with crisp moulding. This kit, Hobby Boss 80382 - 1/48 F4U-1 Corsair Late Model Kit, gives modellers a compact yet detailed representation of the Corsair for shelf-top display or a small diorama.

A Legendary Carrier Fighter

The F4U Corsair made its name as a tough carrier and land-based fighter. This scale kit captures the aircrafts general proportions and key features, letting builders replicate the classic wartime look in 1/48 scale.

Tips for a Clean Build

Careful trimming and light sanding will improve seam lines, and test-fitting major subassemblies helps ensure a tidy finish. Once painted, the model stands out for its silhouette and surface detail.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
The cockpit includes basic instrument and seat detail appropriate for 1/48 scale; modellers can add aftermarket decals or photo-etch for extra realism.
Use a plastic model cement or cyanoacrylate for small joins. Plastic cement provides a stronger bond for large parts.
Both enamel and acrylic paints work well; ensure proper surface preparation and allow adequate drying between coats for best results.
Decals included are typical of Hobby Boss kits and suit standard painting schemes; using decal softener improves conformity on curved surfaces.
