I bought this TAMIYA 1/48 Bird Cage F4U1/2 CORSAIR #61046 because I was looking for a better F4U than the old MONOGRAM kit that I have, the price was right and I'm familiar with TAMIYA's quality, so this one was it! You don't usually see an older CORSAIR version these days, so I was happy to see it on the market. I won't get to this kit for a while, but I'm sure when I do get to it, it will be a great build.

Typical Tamiya excellence of design and fit. The parts are crisp and clear with deep enough scribing (NOT raised lines as some manufacturers still insist) to allow accenting with a thinned 'wash' of black to accent. The only downside, curiously, is the insistence that the model only be assembled as "parked", with all flaps down. No provision is made for "in flight" attitude. Otherwise, superb.

I was asked if I was enjoying my F4U-1 Corsair........I don't think I can answer that now because you see it's still sitting in Memphis TN...... today will be five (5) days. I'm in PA. I could drive to Memphis quicker then that.
