300060325, 1:32 Us Vought F4U-1A Corsair

Model just arrived and busy looking at what you get for £85. It would seem the answer is "quite a lot". For a 1:32 model the box is huge and literally filled with frame after frame of incredibly detailed parts. These include photo etched as well as stencils and canopy masks. The instruction manual is equally huge and contains a wealth of information about the plane and the model. It also includes colour pictures showing the paint scheme as well as real life pictures of an actual plane so you know what the finished model should look like when it is painted. All in all I am in somewhat of a state of shock. I have never encountered such detail in a model and only hope I can do it justice. The next few nights will be spent studying the instructions and sorting out paints etc. I would think there are several weeks if not months of work ahead of me and I cant wait to get started. My wife thinks I am completely crazy but what's wrong with being a big kid?

The tamiya 1/32 WW2 aircraft kits can not be beaten in my opinion. They are expensive, but the amount of model kit, the exquisite detail and perfect engineering make them very good value as far as I am concerned. Buy, build and enjoy!!!

Typical Tamiya model. Fits well together although I recommend it to an experienced modeller.

Great kit great value,

Top!! Love it!

Got it 2 days earlier than expected brill

Love it.

Che dire un Tamiya (la perfezione ) in campo modellistico , consigliato agli esperti , non per la difficoltà ma per il costo un neofità è meglio si cimenti con modelli più economici .

Pièces manquantes retrouvées..super produit ! / TAMIYA toujours au top...

以前から気になってたキットです。1/48は作ったのですが、ガルウイングのスタイリングがツボに入り1/32で作りたい衝動により購入した次第です。タミヤのキットは綺麗なパーツでありながら作りやすさと、見えない部分の作り込みも手を抜いていない点が素晴らしいと思います。主翼付け根のオイルクーラーはエッチングパーツも使って再現してある。オイルクーラーを通った空気は主翼下面のエアー抜きへ流れる構造になっているのを初めて理解した。オイルクーラーは完成すると主翼内にあるので内部は見えない構造です。この造り込みに感心しました。未だ製作途中だけどじっくり作りたいと思います

this is a 1/32 scale model. i am a retired person and I enjoy working on these Tamiya models. they are high quality kits, lot of small parts, need to take your time working on it. parts fit well. it is a highly detailed model including cockpit and engine.
