Hasegawa 01140 A10 1/72 F4U-1D Corsair - faithful small scale model

The Hasegawa 1/72 F4U-1D Corsair model kit enables modellers to assemble a compact representation of a key WWII naval fighter. Its bent-wing profile and proven combat record make the Corsair an enduring favourite, and this kit highlights the aircrafts silhouette with accurate moulded detail.

Service history and modelling interest

The F4U-1D saw service across several naval squadrons and earned a reputation for speed and firepower in both air-to-air and ground attack roles. Hasegawas kit reproduces distinguishing features so that the finished model reflects the aircrafts operational character.

Practical build notes and display suggestions

Expect fine components and the need for controlled glue application on small joins; builders comfortable with moderate detail work will get the best results. A simple varnish and tidy decal work will make the model ready for shelf display or a themed vignette.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72 model
  • Material used: polystyrene plastic

Build time varies with skill and finishing level, but expect several evenings for assembly and additional time for painting and decaling to reach a neat finish.
Yes. At 1/72 scale the finished Corsair fits comfortably in most small display cases and shelves alongside other 1/72 aircraft.
Decal quality is generally good, but sealing with a clear coat is recommended to protect them and give a consistent surface before any weathering is applied.
