Simple, but great kit
Slightly lacking in detail, but that aside, a really good kit and for the money, excellent value. Not a massive project either. An hour or so a day and you'll be done within a week. Fit is very good and the only thing to watch out for are some errors in the instructions. The wing instructions are showing incorrect left/right assembly and I found the gun sight needed to be sanded down to fit into the instrument panel. Minor things to be honest. I had very little filling and sanding to do for seam lines and I would just say, be careful with the wing alignment where the folds are. Don't apply glue until you have it bang on. I use Tamiya tape to get it all aligned and only then inched around the join, gluing small sections as I made sure everything was bang on. The decals aren't great, the older Tamiya were always too thick. I replaced them with Microscale decals and that allowed me to do a two tone blue paint job, with satin white underneath. It looked so much better than all sea blue. Just add a bit of detail to the cockpit with some photoetch, some better decals and you've got a very nice result indeed. Even masking and then airbrushing the colour scheme was a breeze. A slightly different looking plane, so worth having one in the collection. Looks great next to the Eduard Wildcat that I recently built.

Un gran kit de modelismo a un excelente precio
Este F4U-1D de Tamiya es una versión actualizada en 1998 del kit de 1996 (Tamiya - No. 61046). Algunos cambios le permitieron a esta versión tener más detalle y actualizarlo de F4U-1/2 al F4U-1D que peleó en los últimos años de la guerra. Este kit regresó en una versión más actual recientemente en el 2002 con algunas piezas nuevas y un equipo de remolque que encarece mucho el kit más reciente (kit No. 61085). Por el precio, recomiendo mucho este kit en comparación de los otros. El ensamblaje es muy bueno, difícilmente encontrarás problemas al momento de ensamblar en y el detalle es de admirarse. MUY recomendado este kit.
