============================
The HobbyBoss Vought F4U-5 Corsair in 1/48 scale is a solid kit out of the box. The kit offers good details, soft plastic and the fit is fine.
Upgrading is always possible and a cockpit set is definitely recommended. If you want to go one step further, you can take the time and add some rivets. It will be worth it.
I like that HobbyBoss offers almost every version of the Corsair at an affordable price. Therefore this will not be my last Corsair build.
Overall, I am very happy with the result and I had a lot of fun building it. The problems with painting and chipping were probably due to the high temperatures.
I hope you enjoy the video and I would be very happy about a comment.

Good job on the F4U-5, my favorite Corsair.
Thank you very much. I'm glad you like it, even if the outer wings aren't entirely correct. Regards ScalerDan
Well done!
Thank you, I'm really glad you like it. Regards ScalerDan
I you would try a U7 , Hasegawa is the best . Marking are colorful , with yellow and black stripes during "operations" on Suez operations in cooperation with British ! Or Algerian markings with AU1 again Hasegawa kit ..... Corsair ended service with french Navy in 62 .... and scrapped !!! only one still flying in USA with US navy making .
I omit to say .... I'm a french modeler and love F4U .... from the U4 to U7 !
I just looked at some F4U-7 photos from the Korean War. French markings look great and weathering would be a challenge. I should definitely try it one day, especially since you don't see the French Corsair too often. Un grand salut à mes voisins français...ScalerDan
Thank you for posting your excellent video and job building and detailing and painting your HobbyBoss F4U-5 Corsair too!
Thank you very much for your kind words. Even a cheap kit can bring a lot of fun. Regards ScalerDan
Greetings my friend, that was a excellent build, and the painting and weathering was done to perfection, congratulations on a job well done, best regards from Australia 👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much my friend. It's always nice to read such motivating words. Greetings to Australia
Great build! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks mate! Regards ScalerDan
Lovely build. Very patient work!
Thanks a lot! Regards ScalerDan
I'm not into planes, myself building 1/24 scale cars, but this is really nice! Good job!
Thank you for the kind words. I should definitely try a 1/24 car sometime. Meng's GT-40 waits in the stack. Regards ScalerDan
@@ScalerDan haha I have it in my stash as well! But it seems really complicated, must practice a bit mode before doing it
I live korean war era corsairs and over all you did a fpof job. 2 things though.
1. The wing root that gooes toward the engine exhaust
2. Korean war era corsairs had massive trails of exhaust stains. But overall i like what you did. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for your comment and the helpful hint. I still have 2 Corsairs in stock and will keep this in mind for the next build. Best regards ScalerDan
Nice ..... but the wings are for the early F4U4 .... and the hump behind the canopy too small ! Hasegawa one is better !!! Nevertheless ... topissimo !!!
Thanks a lot for your comment. I keep it in mind when i build my f4u-4 . HobbyBoss is not the most accurate but a good base for improvement. Regards ScalerDan
My favorite is..... as a french..... the F4U7 !!!! Special version of the Corsair , a mis of F4U4 and AU1.... !!! @@ScalerDan
Great build as always can you put a link to where you got the riven pictures from please 🙏
Thank you very much for the comment! Do you mean a riveting plan? I used one from blueprintbox.com. You can find a lot for the Corsair using the normal Google image search. Things get more difficult with lesser-known aircraft. Regards ScalerDan

Hello my friend. Fantastic job building and painting this model. I do have one question. Why didn't the bottom of the model receive chipping? Maybe I missed it. Anyway, fantastic job.
Thanks for your kind words. On carrier based aircraft the top of the aircraft gets more sun, rain, dirt and the crew walks around so the paint will chip earlier. The bottom is more protected. Land based aircraft would get more chipping at the bottom due to dirty landing strips and stones. But it depends...I often overdo the chipping a little. It's more a artistic choice. Regards ScalerDan
Oh , by the way..... the SeaBlue FS15042 .... Tamiya , Hobby Color ...?
The right blue...always a good question. Vallejo Glossy Sea Blue if you like acrylics... I will play with AK Real colors Dark Sea Blue next time and you will find someone who says the color is wrong 😉
I still have a Humbrol Seablue ! Enamel ! very nice and match with FS15042 .... but out of production ! I tried every label , from Tamiya , Hobby color , and so on !!! Every !!! The 365 Hobby seam the best ..... for me ! Seablue deserve a great debate worldwide !!! I'm joking ....yours is great!!! @@ScalerDan
Nice build. But you are not doing yourself any favours using Vallejo Air paint. It’s too thick in the bottle and the result is a lot of orange peel in your paint. When you are laying the blue on the cowing you see the paint beading off and that’s a result of your chipping fluid being applied too thick as well. Shoot that on as a light mist from a distance. I struggled with Vallejo as well and switching to Mr Color lacquers was a game changer.
Thank you for the helpful advice. I should really stick with the things that work. My goto colors are AK Real Colors with Mr. Hobby thinner. I will only spray acrylic paints in exceptional cases...it's no fun anymore. I'll keep the chipping liquid thing in mind next time...Regards ScalerDan
His result still looks amazing. I don’t use laquer because it is too gassy and messy and I still prefer my acrylic paints. It’s all to preference.
Hi there , just found this vid , great build 👍 . However!! What was that god awful tune in the background !! I felt like i was tied to a f@cking chair , with someone trying to f@cking brainwash me !!!!
Holy sh!t !!! Please rethink your background music !! 😂😂 subbed 👍👍
Thank you for the hopefully not entirely serious comment. My daughter had the same opinion so the music selection was probably not the best. Torture wasn't my intention, the music was supposed to just play quietly in the background but as always it's not easy to find free music.
Better not watch my older videos, the music isn't great either...😉Regards ScalerDan
My opinion is: change the colors. Vallejo are not good... better Gunze or tamiya.
You're right. There are good alternatives that are much easier to spray. My favorites at the moment are AK Real Colors...Regards ScalerDan
