Why is the Corsair an aviation legend?
The F4U Corsair is one of the most recognizable American fighter aircraft. Aircraft of this family served with the US Navy and Marine Corps, making history during World War II and the Korean War. Their trademark feature was their inverted gull-wing design.
This distinctive design allowed for relatively short landing gear while still accommodating a large-diameter propeller. This solution gave the Corsair a unique silhouette, which has been faithfully recreated in the COBI brick model.

The Corsair in Flying Bulls livery
This brick model depicts the Corsair in the Flying Bulls livery. It combines the silhouette of the historic fighter with distinctive Red Bull markings, making it an ideal choice for aviation and airshow enthusiasts.
The specific F4U-4 Corsair owned by the Flying Bulls was built in 1945 and bears the registration mark OE-EAS. The aircraft is displayed at airshows across Europe, allowing new generations to see this historic design in flight.

The Flying Bulls and their collection of historic aircraft
The Flying Bulls are a unique fleet of vintage and historic aircraft, meticulously restored and showcased at airshows.
The F4U Corsair is one of the most distinctive aircraft in this fleet, making its selection as the first model in the COBI and Flying Bulls collaboration particularly significant.

Design details of the COBI F4U-4 Corsair brick model
Dark navy blue paint scheme and markings
Fuselage, wings and the model’s tail section features a dark navy blue color scheme. Red “Red Bull” lettering with light outlines and red bull symbols appear on the sides of the fuselage, standing out sharply against the dark background.
The livery is complemented by US Navy-style markings: white stars with bars and red accents, along with the white inscription “NAVY.”
The markings are applied using pad printing technology; the set does not include stickers.

The Corsair’s distinctive silhouette
The model accurately reproduces the “inverted gull wing” configuration, the massive forward fuselage and the slender tail. The four-blade propeller features black blades with yellow tips, accentuating the aircraft’s nose section.
A transparent canopy offers a view into the cockpit. Visible landing gear with black tires and a small tail wheel complete the aircraft’s profile.

665 pieces and 1:32 scale
The set allows for the step-by-step assembly of the aircraft, progressing from the initial connections to the finished model, complete with markings and a display stand. The 1:32 scale provides ample room to showcase the Corsair’s characteristic proportions and livery details.
The finished model can stand alone in a collection or be displayed alongside other COBI aircraft of the same scale.

Folding wings
The COBI model, just like the original fighter aircraft, features folding wings. On the model, this element folds in the middle and bends upward, faithfully replicating the solution used on the real aircraft.
The Corsair was a carrier-based aircraft designed to operate from aircraft carriers. The folding wings were therefore a very practical solution, they reduced the aircraft’s overall width, allowing valuable space to be saved in the hangars and on the carrier deck.

Pilot figure
The set includes a pilot figure wearing a light beige flight suit-complete with printed gear and harness details-and black boots.
The pilot wears a silver-grey helmet bearing the “Red Bull” logo, eye protection, and an oxygen mask with a grey, ribbed hose. Its accessories reflect the aviation theme of the set and complement the look of the Flying Bulls aircraft.

Display stand
A wide black base with a transparent support allows the aircraft to be displayed hovering above the surface. This positioning highlights the distinctive wing bend and showcases the silhouette of the Corsair with landing gear extended.

Information plaque
At the front of the stand, there is an angled, light-colored information plaque. It displays The Flying Bulls logo, the set name and the 1:32 scale.
The plaque makes it easy to identify the aircraft and gives the display a collector’s feel.
Moving model parts
Functional elements enhance the realism of the design:
• rotating propeller
• moving wheels
• opening cockpit
• movable ailerons
These features allow the model to better capture the appearance and operation of the real aircraft.

Collector’s corner
1:32 scale COBI model
The 1:32 scale is ideal for model enthusiasts who want to showcase the aircraft’s silhouette and give it a dedicated spot in their collection. The stand, information plaque and pilot figure allow for a complete display setup.
The finished Flying Bulls F4U-4 Corsair looks great:
• on a shelf with aviation models
• in a collector’s display case
• on an aviation enthusiast’s desk
• alongside other 1:32 scale COBI aircraft
• in a display inspired by Flying Bulls airshows
Grouping models of the same scale allows you to compare the proportions of different designs and create a cohesive display.

A fun fact for collectors
The real Corsair aircraft features folding wings. This design solution was developed to save space on aircraft carriers. Along with the characteristic “bent-wing” shape, this is one of the features that reflects the aircraft’s naval heritage.
