Bozothenutter Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Are these any good? Or do they have the 'one big error' all Trumpyboss seem to have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a corsair nut I wont build one, to my eyes the fuselage doesn't seem quite right. Its hard to explain why but its just doesnt look the part. Now for an early Corsair The Tamiya kits still the best money. For the later model's -4/-5/-7/AU-1 the Hasegawa. However its your choice in the end and this is only my opinion. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One 48 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 As a relevant side note, is there anything wrong with Tamiya's 1/48 Corsairs, shape/fit or otherwise that Hobbyboss decided to release new tool versions? Have the Tamiya 1/48 Corsairs but still to build them. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise they're amazing kits. Edited August 24, 2022 by Stephen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Some daring decal options there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franky boy Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Will be interesting to see a review and how it stacks up against the Tamiya kit. Agreed that the decal options could a bit more eye catching. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
