Hobby Boss 80395 1/48 Corsair Mk.II - Carrier Fighter in Scale

The Hobby Boss 80395 1/48 Corsair Mk.II kit gives hobbyists the chance to recreate the distinctive Royal Navy adaptation of the F4U-1A. The Mk.II version was modified to suit British carrier operations, and this plastic kit reflects those key changes for a faithful display model.

Carrier Modifications and Role in Service

The Corsair Mk.II is noted for shortened wingtips to fit smaller carriers, a raised pilot position and an improved canopy layout to aid deck landings. The Royal Navy ordered and used 510 aircraft of this variant across multiple theaters during the war.

Kit Layout and Build Notes

This set includes over 190 parts across 10 sprues, delivering detailed fuselage and wing shapes plus an accurately modelled engine bay and undercarriage area. Clear parts are supplied for the canopy and the kit requires glue and paint to finish.
