About product

Vought F4U-1D Corsair 1:32 (Tamiya)

A sizeable and richly detailed injection-molded plastic model of the American carrier fighter Vought F4U-1D Corsair in the large 1:32 scale from the top Japanese brand Tamiya. It is a premium kit which, thanks to the size of 1:32, offers an exceptional level of detail: a finely rendered Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radial engine with delicate cylinder finning, the gull wing, which can be built spread or folded, and the option of assembling the model standing or in flight (parts of the landing gear and a stand are enclosed). The package also holds pilot figures and photo-etched parts for added realism.

The real subject

The F4U Corsair was an American carrier fighter of the Second World War, easily recognized by its inverted gull wing, which made it possible to use a large propeller while keeping the landing gear short. The F4U-1D version was among the widespread production variants and was among the first Corsairs officially operated from the decks of aircraft carriers. The combination of high speed, heavy armament and the load-carrying ability of its racks (bombs, drop tanks and unguided rockets) made it a feared machine of the second half of the war.

Building and painting tips

Given the size of 1:32 and the amount of detail, this is a representative build that more experienced modelers will appreciate. Glue the plastic parts with a thin modeling cement for plastic and the photo-etched parts with cyanoacrylate glue. It pays to paint and shade the engine and the cockpit before the fuselage is closed up. Apply a primer before painting and spray with an airbrush in thin coats; the blue-gray naval finish is brought to life by emphasizing the panels and by a fine wash.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of American carrier fighters of the Second World War in the large 1:32 scale
  • Modelers who will appreciate a premium kit with a highly detailed engine and interior
  • More experienced builders looking for a striking model to display
  • Enthusiasts of the Corsair with its characteristic gull wing

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The large 1:32 scale allows markedly more detail to be rendered than smaller models: a detailed engine, cockpit and surface structure. The resulting model is large and striking on display.

Yes, the characteristic gull wing can according to the manufacturer be built spread or folded, and the model can be assembled standing on the ground or in flight.

It is a sizeable and detailed premium kit, so we recommend it rather to more experienced modelers; it also contains photo-etched parts, which are glued with cyanoacrylate.
