Revell 03983 Vought F4U-1D Corsair 1:72 Scale Unbuilt/Unpainted Plastic Model Kit

I really enjoyed this small build. As an amateur, I build small WW2 fighter models for fun and because I love their design. I don't really mind the end results too much as building them is just a way for me to relax and spend my spare time. Even if it doesn't look great, I'm fine with that. However, this model is very well made and not too complicated to assemble. The only problem is that, due to the scale, some parts are incredibly small. Another positive thing is that the base colour of the plastic was white, making it easier to paint.

Not bad for a revell kit, a few fit issues with wing roots and the front bulkhead section,model details not fantastic so i used a riveting wheel to put extra detail on and rescribed panel lines and made seat belts from masking tape. Pleased with the result.

For a 1/72nd scale kit, this has all the look of a much larger scale. The cockpit is incredibly detailed, gunsight, 3 instrument panels, proper rudder pedals, just brilliant. A brilliant kit, well above par for this scale / budget!

Good detailing on the mouldings, not too much flashing, Revell seem to mould in various colours, this one was white, but I have had blue, grey, this one white which seem to be plastic, but I had a green one recently which I think was moulded in poly prop, not very good at all.This one thankfully was good and the finished model, impressive.

The model kit came without paints,etc. I purchased at a local store another F4 at about the same price,complete with paints.

Arrived today and as it’s Revell that says it all. Excellent company who take pride in all their products. Great kit and I’m looking forward to the build. 👍🏼

A really good kit. Enjoyed it a lot. Lots of detail. The propeller fitting worked well. Decals were good quality.

Great price and good quality.
