Reviews : Tamiya Vought F4U-1A Corsair

I have built tons of Tamiya kits and have never had an issue with them. The instructions are always clear and easy to follow and usually provide tips that can help improve the kit. There was no flash on the parts and everything fit together like it should. The cockpit detailing was ok. The instrument panel was a decal, and there were some minor details on the walls. An ambitious modeler should be able to improve on the kit and super detail everything to really set it apart from other planes. I'd recommend this kit to anyone as it went together without any problems and creates a pretty nice plane when finished.

This is a really good kit. There was almost no flashing, and the fit was pretty near perfect. I really appreciated all of the built in detail, especially in the wings and cockpit. The cool thing is that despite the fine detail the kit is well built and I didn’t feel like I had to be overly delicate with it. The instructions were also very clear and easy to follow. I’d say this is a good kit for all skill levels.

This is a smaller corsair kit but, it will build into an excellent corsair model. The kit is very well detailed and is a great kit for modelers of all skills.
