Hobby Boss 1/48 F4U-5 Corsair: Detailed Scale Replica

The F4U-5 Corsair represents a notable chapter in naval aviation, recognised as the final propeller fighter built for the US Navy. Evolving from the F4U-4, this variant first flew on December 21, 1945, and is notable for its extended nose that houses the potent 2300hp R-2800-32W engine fitted with an automatically-adjusting turbo supercharger.

Modelers will value the accurate footprint, measuring 215mm in length and a 260mm wingspan, plus a well-shaped fuselage and wing structure. Engine and landing gear bay detail, together with clear canopy components, give the model strong display presence for any aviation case or shelf.
