About product

F4U-1 Corsair (early version) 1:48 (Hobby Boss)

This injection-molded plastic kit in 1:48 scale from Hobby Boss represents the early version of the Vought F4U-1 Corsair carrier fighter. The package contains gray plastic, clear parts for the cockpit and a decal sheet. The model is meant to be assembled and painted.

The real subject

The F4U Corsair was an American carrier fighter with a characteristic inverted gull wing and a powerful radial engine. The early F4U-1 version had a flat canopy with a dense grid of frames, which is why that look is called the birdcage. Only the later versions received the bulged canopy with a better view. The machine excelled as a fighter and as a fighter-bomber in the Pacific.

Building and painting tips

Glue the multi-part canopy with cement for clear plastics and mask it carefully. A primer and an airbrush are recommended; American naval schemes come out well with a fine wash into the panel lines and graded matting. The engine cowling offers room for fine-tuning the detail.

Who the model is for

  • followers of carrier fighters of the Second World War
  • collectors of early production Corsairs
  • builders of aircraft in 1:48 scale
  • more advanced beginners and experienced modelers alike

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