Tamiya have a very positive reputation - is it deserved? Will I open the box and be blown away? Is it a Corr-sair? Will I want More-sair? Less puns, more Tamiya. Check out the Captain on Twitch! / cpt_vfc
I've built this kit a few times. Big fan. Trickiest bit is the seam along the nose - there's a lot of detail there you don't want to remove. Also if you really want to get fancy, the seams where the wing joins the body right at the nose should be filled and removed. That's a tricky joint though as you have to get it before you put the cowling on.
Just remembered there's also the seam at the back of the wing lol, but that one's easy to remove. For a Tamiya kit, a lot of seams! There's just not a good panel line join for that wing. But it's a great kit.
Built a couple of them as Fleet Air Arm ac. Aires does a lovely set of dropped flaps that fit with very little work and make the kit look so evil. Also, faa corsairs need the wing tips chopped
