Some lovely details and moulding on the kit. I had read that the markings provided are for Mk.II Corsairs, but a little research seems to show that Hobby Boss have it correct in that the markings are for Mk.III’s. The Brewster built Corsair F3A-1 was known in the FAA as the Corsair Mk.III. However, what Hobby Boss appear to have in the box is the Vought Corsair F4U-4 /F4U-5. These aircraft had the exhaust moved to the sides of the engine cowling allowing the new twin drop tank configuration or bomb mounts. Neither appear to have ever been delivered to the British Fleet Air Arm.

The final series version of the Corsair manufactured during World War II was the F4U-4, first projected mid 1943. The first prototype, a modified F4U-1 redesignated F4U-4XA, was flown on 19 April 1944, followed on 12 July by a second prototype, the F4U-4XB. The first series F4U-4 flew on 20 September 1944, and the initial aircraft of this sub-type was accepted by the US Navy five weeks later, on 31 October, with 500 being delivered by the following April. The principal changes between the F4U-4 and the preceding series model were provision of an R-2800-18W (R-2800-42W in later series aircraft) with water injection boosting the normal maximum rating of 2,100 hp to 2,450 hp, and a redesigned cockpit. The engine drove a new four-bladed, 13 ft 2 in (4,01 m) diameter propeller and was fitted with a down-draught carburetor, the intake ducts for which were moved from the wing leading edges to a position beneath the engine cowling. The standard sextet of 0.5-in (12,7-mm) guns was retained for the principal production series, but 297 were completed as F4U-4Bs with an armament of four 20-mm cannon. Goodyear was to have produced the F4U-4 as the FG-4, but orders for 2,371 FG-4s were cancelled following V-J Day and before completion of any examples of this model. Production of the F4U-4 by Vought continued, however, a total of 2,357 being delivered - including one F4U-4N night fighter and nine F4U-4P reconnaissance aircraft - with the final example being completed in August 1947.

Some of the tanks/verhicles; like the Cheiftan, are privately owned. Most of the armour is theirs though. They have a working Jagdpanzer turning up soon.
