Models Vought F4U-1A Corsair Model Kit

Husband loves this kit, everything Tamiya is great

I've not actually built this yet. I have however practice fitted parts for painting and it's lovely. So well designed really looking forward to building it properly

Tamiya F4U-1A corsair is the best on the market.the reason being is fit of the parts are fantastic no filler required just a slight sanding of the seems top and bottom also you can have the wings folded or wings down cockpit is great out of the box just need to had some seat belts as you only get decal ones.you have 2 choice of makings they are printed well but a bit on the thick side so you will need a good decal setter for them to bed down on the aircraft but other from that the kit is fantastic will be buying the other corsairs from Tamiya they are that good.buy one you won't be disappointed.

I liked it.

Model arrived in excellent condition in a timely manner. Perfect.

As usual Tamiya have produced an easy to build great replica of the Corsair. Easy to build and superb fit, highly recommended.

I think parts of this model are used in other variants of Tamiya Corsairs as there are gaps that need to be filled with modelling putty. Also to have the wings deployed you need to drill out some holes. I'm dissapointed that the kit doesn't come with pre-cut masking for the canopy. To paint the canopy frame takes a steadier hand than I possess and pre-cut masking tape would have been very useful Overall the kit went togther well, however I struggled to get the folded out wings to properly match up with the 'inner wings'. I'm not sure if that was down to something I did wrong or of poor molding/fitting ! It took a lot of trail and error and some filler and even after that I'm not happy with the outcome.

Tamiya kit means precision and detail and this has both!

I have built a couple of these kits. How can you resist a Corsair??? Great detail and easy assembly. Take care if building with the wings folded, the struts are not that strong.

Dico soltanto una parola "TAMYA"e non dico altro!

Maravillosa maqueta, alta calidad de detalle y de grabados, las piezas encajan a la perfección, se puede montar con alas extendidas o plegadas, la verdad me ha sorprendido favorablemente. Contentísimo con la compra y el precio estupendo. Aconsejo esta maqueta y disfrutar momtándola, lo dicho, la calidad Tamiya se nota.

でっかいプロペラを回すのと脚を短くするために逆ガル翼になったらしい。そして、その強烈トルクを解消するために垂直尾翼に細工が成されている。やや右に切れており、また触ってみると厚さが違うのが分かる。こんなところも再現している辺り、地味にスゴい。さすが。

Utmärkt passform, fina detaljer och tydliga anvisningar, men något tjocka dekaler. Tamiya-kvalitet av förväntat slag, således.
