How to Build...
TAMIYA 1:32 F4U-1A
and F4U-1D CORSAIR

When Tamiya released their 1:32 scale Spitfi re
Mk.IXc in 2009, they set a new standard for plastic
model kits. Each model since then has seen
incremental improvements. Just when you think the
series can’t get any better, Tamiya goes and proves
you wrong.
Their 1:32 scale Birdcage Corsair was released
in mid-2013. This was an outstanding kit in every
respect.
Tamiya expanded their 1:32 scale Corsair family
with an F4U-1A in late 2014. This kit included
several new sprues and offered a wider range of
camoufl age and marking possibilities.
Tamiya has now completed the -1 trio with their
new 1:32 scale F4U-1D Corsair. Once again, this kit
includes a signifi cant number of brand new sprues
to depict the unique attributes of this variant.
We can also marvel at the kit’s subtle surface
textures, high level of detail, clever parts breakdown
and accuracy.

In this new book, we provide an exhaustive step-
by-step illustrated guide to building and detailing Only
the 1:32 scale F4U-1D and F4U-1A, offering plenty
of inspiration with two different confi gurations and £1 4.95
plus p&p
colour schemes.
We have also a bonus Chapter on building Tamiya’s
1:48 scale Corsair family, offer some tips for
painting pilot fi gures and include a helpful walk
around of a Corsair under restoration.
