Hobby Boss 80395 1/48 Corsair Mk.II - Scale Replica of a Naval Fighter

The Hobby Boss 80395 1/48 Corsair Mk.II captures the Royal Navy variant of the F4U-1A, allowing modellers to recreate its unique carrier-ready features. The kit emphasises accurate surface detail and cockpit shaping for an authentic result.

Why the Mk.II Stood Out

The Mk.II had shortened wingtips to suit smaller carriers, plus a raised seating position and a reworked canopy for better view during carrier approaches. Some 510 Mk.II examples served with the Royal Navy in various wartime operations.

What to Expect During Assembly

This kit is built from more than 190 parts on 10 sprues, with well detailed fuselage halves and a realistic engine bay. Clear parts are included for the canopy and the model requires glue and paint to complete.
