Description
HOBBYBOSS U.S. F4U-5N "Corsair" Fighter (Late Type)
The F4U-5 was the last piston-engined fighter aircraft put into production for the U.S. Navy, developed from the earlier F4U-4 variant. The prototype was a modified F4U-4 (BuNo.27296). The aircraft incorporated a series of the most advanced technologies of its time, and its prototype made its maiden flight on December 21, 1945.
The F4U-5 featured the longest nose of all "Corsair" variants. This specially lengthened nose housed a 2,300-horsepower R-2800-32W engine along with an automatic adjusting turbocharger. The cockpit area was also redesigned, and a new canopy was installed. Due to the end of the war, production of the F4U-5 was ultimately limited to 233 units.
