Eduard FE1492 F4U-2 HOBBY BOSS 1/48 – Photo-etched detail set for the F4U-2 Corsair fighter model

The Eduard FE1492 photo-etched set was created especially for modelers who want to take the realism of the F4U-2 Corsair fighter model by Hobby Boss (in 1/48 scale) to an entirely new level. Photo-etched parts are an invaluable addition for both demanding collectors and ambitious hobbyists building plastic model kits. This product is dedicated specifically to the American F4U Corsair fighter in the F4U-2 variant. It was used primarily by the United States Navy and the US Marines during World War II, especially in the Pacific theater. The Corsair excelled both as a carrier-based fighter and in ground support roles, and the F4U-2 version was developed with night operations in mind.

The Corsair's period of active service was mainly between 1942-1955, encompassing World War II and the early years of the Cold War. The Eduard FE1492 set takes historical accuracy and fidelity of details from this era to a higher level. Precisely designed plates made from thin, high-quality metal allow you to replicate, among other things, instrument panels, harnesses, windshield details, tiny levers, and other key components of the F4U-2 cockpit and external surfaces.
