Hobby Boss 80395 1/48 Corsair Mk.II - Naval Fighter in Detail

The Hobby Boss 80395 1/48 Corsair Mk.II kit replicates the Royal Navy adaptation of the F4U-1A, capturing the distinguishing carrier modifications and surface detail. It is tailored for builders who value accuracy in scale warbirds.

Carrier Adaptations and Operational Use

Key changes to the Mk.II included clipped wingtips for smaller carriers, a heightened cockpit position and a revised canopy to improve pilot sightlines for deck landings. The Royal Navy operated 510 of these aircraft in wartime roles.

Parts Breakdown and Builder Tips

The kit contains more than 190 parts across 10 sprues, providing authentic fuselage contours and finely modelled landing gear bays. The canopy is provided as clear parts and the assembly requires glue and paint to finish to a high standard.
