Hobby Boss 1/48 F4U-1 Corsair Early Version Model Summary

The F4U-1 Corsair is a classic US fighter from World War II, noted for its distinctive gull wing and strong flying qualities. This 1/48 Hobby Boss kit reproduces those characteristic shapes for collectors and builders who value historical accuracy.

Service Record and Context

Introduced into U.S. naval service in about 1940 and produced until 1953, the Corsair enjoyed one of the longest production runs for a piston fighter. The early F4U-1 layout represented here shows the aircraft as fielded in its initial wartime role.

Build Content and Detail

The kit contains over 190 parts to assemble a faithful miniature of the Corsair. The fuselage and wings are moulded to reflect the correct profiles, clear parts are supplied for the cockpit glass, and internal engine and undercarriage detail rewards careful painting and weathering.
