## Description

Vought F4U-1A Corsair Model

Review: Great kit!! - 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.
Review: All of the 1/48th scale Tamiya Corsairs are AMAZING! - Let's face it, Tamiya is like an industry standard for a reason. The panel lines are crisp and not over-done. The fit is awesome and you can build it right out of the box and get outstanding results, if you put some time into it. If you add detail sets, you can get a museum quality build out of it. I highly recommend this to anyone that wants to build model aircraft. The dimensions are accurate and if you follow the directions, it's not a tough build at all! Any of the gaps I filled were thanks to mistakes that I made during assembly. This review goes for the F4U-1/2 and the F4U-1D kits too!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice build. Not 1/48
*by M***L on December 19, 2024*

Very nice model. Lots of fun putting it together and getting back into model building. I decided to make a diorama and got some 1/48 army men and a 1/48 jeep. The pilots are like a third taller than the men.
