Hasegawa 01140 A10 1/72 F4U-1D Corsair - Detailed scale tribute

The Hasegawa 1/72 F4U-1D Corsair kit gives scale modellers the opportunity to recreate one of the most recognised WWII naval fighters. Famous for its bent gull wings and strong service record in the Pacific, the Corsair remains a favourite subject for display builds. This Hasegawa release balances authentic form with parts that reward careful assembly.

Combat heritage and modeller interest

The F4U-1D Corsair served with both the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps during World War II, combining a powerful powerplant with a distinctive airframe that excelled in air combat and strike roles. Model builders will appreciate the Hasegawa kit's attention to surface detail and period-accurate lines that reflect the aircrafts operational history.

Assembly tips and display advice

At 1/72 scale this kit demands precise gluing and some patience with small components, making it well suited to hobbyists comfortable with moderate complexity. Once finished, the model displays well with other WWII fighters and benefits from careful paintwork and decal placement.
