  1. Nice Corsair! Looks great,the red outlined insignia adds a bit of color.

  2. A real beauty! The paint and finish work is fantastic - well done!

  3. Great job on this classic kit.

  4. This is one of Tamiya's best kits - I rank it with the P-47s and the new Zeros for a "guaranteed good result." Thus, a modeler can concentrate on the "fun" part - painting and decals.

    Tommy Blackburn himself would love this model.
