About product

Vought F4U-1A Corsair 1:72 (Tamiya)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the American F4U-1A Corsair carrier fighter in 1:72 scale from Tamiya. The model offers the typically precise Tamiya execution with finely engraved panel lines, a detailed cockpit and clear canopy parts. Check the exact contents of the box and the number of parts in the enclosed instructions.

The real subject

The Vought F4U Corsair was among the highest-performing carrier fighters of the Second World War and is easy to recognize by its inverted gull wing. It was powered by a large radial engine, which made it one of the fastest piston fighters of its day. Compared with early machines, the F4U-1A version brought a raised pilot's seat and a reworked canopy with a better view. It was deployed above all in the Pacific with the US Navy and Marine Corps.

Building and painting tips

Glue the parts with liquid modeling cement for plastic, and the fine and clear parts preferably with cyanoacrylate. Paint the cockpit and the instrument panel and add the detail before closing the fuselage; the clear canopy can be protected with a mask while spraying. Use a primer base, airbrush the paints and bring out the panel lines with a light wash. Fit the external stores and the small parts only after painting.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of American Second World War carrier subjects
  • Anyone interested in the Pacific theater in 1:72 scale
  • Modelers who appreciate the precise Tamiya execution
