Tamiya TM61070 Vought F4U-1A Corsair Model KIT

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.

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

I liked it.

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

Tamiya kit means precision and detail and this has both!

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 usefulOverall 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.

Brilliant model

Excellent
