All set for Tamiya's latest "super-kit"? Roy Sutherland certainly is, with the release of a series of resin upgrades and cockpit decals to take the new Corsair to the next level:
"Barracuda Studios is pleased to announce a sneak preview of some exciting new detail sets for the exquisite 1/32nd scale F4U-1 Corsair just released by Tamiya.

This is just a quick overview of the new sets that will be going on sale next week at the IPMS/USA National Convention in Loveland, Colorado. The sets will also be available for Preorder on the Barracuda Studios website in the next few days. More sets will be coming later in the month.
