Are you guys excited about the new Tamiya Corsair 1/32 kit? Corsairs seem to be one of the most popular aircraft to be modelled on this site. The Tamiya 1/32 kit is due for release anytime now. I've copied some of the text from the website below, and you can follow the link above to see all the pictures, etc. Looking forward to seeing the comments from you experts! Thanks, George

Absolutely, Unequivocally, Yes!
It's definitely "definitive." Go look at my "weathered Solomons F4U-1" to get an idea what I will be doing.
Would be, but too rich for my blood. Can't afford any of the Tamiya super kits, or to spend that much on any one kit. I do think it is great that they push the envelope though.
Hell yeah! Even if I have to make a late car payment. 😉
nah...they should have released a 1A o1D...as rob said way overpriced...not excited
Saw a pre- release kit at my LHS...Oh My.
