I want to build a 1/72 scale F4U Corsair and was wondering who has the best model?
I was leaning toward the F4U-1 (Birdcage) Tamiya but will build any variant. Thanks

Hi there. You can't go wrong with a Tamiya kit, good quality at what I think is a reasonable price. You might check out Hasegawa as well, they have a nice Corsair kit as well. Good luck. Russell

I think that the Tamiya kits are the best

Thanks for the input. I ordered the Tamiya F4U-1.
