About product

Vought F4U-7 Corsair 1:48 (Hobby Boss)

An injection-molded plastic model of the carrier fighter Vought F4U-7 Corsair in 1:48 scale from the brand Hobby Boss. It is the last production version of the Corsair, built for French naval aviation. The model offers the characteristic gull wing, a detailed cockpit with clear parts and decals for French machines.

The real subject

The F4U-7 was the very last production version of the legendary Corsair; only around ninety were built, all of them for France. It combined the airframe and landing gear of the F4U-4 version with the powerful Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp radial engine and French equipment. French Corsairs saw action in Indochina and over North Africa, among other places. A typical feature of the whole family is the gull wing, which made it possible to use a short, sturdy landing gear under a large propeller.

Building and painting tips

Glue the parts with thin modeling cement for plastic, and fill and sand the joints of the fuselage and the leading edges. It pays to paint and shade the cockpit and the radial engine before closing them up. Apply primer before painting; the dark blue naval schemes come alive with fine panel highlighting and wear. Lay the colors on with an airbrush in thin coats.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of carrier fighters in 1:48 scale
  • Modelers interested in postwar French naval aviation
  • Fans of the Corsair and its gull wing

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It was the very last production version of the Corsair, built in small numbers exclusively for French naval aviation; it combined the F4U-4 airframe with French equipment.

French naval aviation used Corsairs in Indochina and over North Africa, among other places.

It is a more detailed build with a higher part count; a mildly advanced modeler will manage the basic version, while the full detail will be appreciated by a more experienced builder.
