The F4U-5N Corsair stands as a testament to the final era of propeller-driven fighters in the US Navy. Developed from the F4U-4, this aircraft marked a significant advancement with its first flight on December 21, 1945. It was equipped with cutting-edge technologies of the time, including an extended nose housing the powerful 2300hp R-2800-32W engine and an automatically-adjusting turbo supercharger. Despite its advancements, production was limited to just 233 units due to the war's end.
This scale model by Hobby Boss meticulously captures the essence of the F4U-5N, offering model builders a chance to recreate this iconic aircraft with precision. With a redesigned cockpit and canopy, the model reflects the real-world modifications that defined this aircraft's unique profile.
The Hobby Boss F4U-5N Corsair model kit is designed for those who appreciate historical accuracy and modeling complexity. The kit consists of over 200 parts, providing a detailed fuselage and wing structure. Builders will find the engine detail particularly rewarding, as it brings a layer of authenticity to the final display. The detailed gear cabin further enhances the model's realism, making it a striking piece for any collection.
