Bought one for my stash because I just had to have it. I finally took it off the shelf and busted the box open, doing my research now, and slowly assembling the engine this thing is almost snap together so far. What a great kit

Fantastic kit. Enjoy!!!
Having opened the box and started , upon inspection the only shortcoming in this kit that I see is that it comes with the typical,too thick and brittle Tamiya decal sheets. No biggie--kinda knew that going in Just need too find a set of aftermarket decals. Perhaps the old crow set so I can paint my bird green instead of silver.

Definitely one of the nicest kits I have ever built. No problems with any fits. I built the "Blondie" version OOB, but I gave it a red tail in honor of the Tuskeege Airmen.
I had no trouble with those decals at all.
Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...
Be careful with engine panels if you intend to display them closed. They're a tad tricky and the fit could be better. Otherwise, indeed, heaven in styrene. Try using Tamiya's decal solution on their decals. It's supposed to work well on them.

For some reason all my airplanes are displayed coming in for a landing, gear down, flaps down. I have a couple of planes displayed on the ground. but they are usaully flying on the roof above me

Awesome how excited you are about that kit. I'm sure it's going to be a very enjoyable experience. I'm almost ready to dive into thier 1/32 Corsair. Instead of the kit decals I'm going with painting on the insignia and numbers with Montex mask.
It is a beautiful kit, right up there with their Corsair. I went with Decal Draw's Moonbeam McShine. No particular reason other than it was a blue nose

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

The blue is sharp. I would probably make the same decision.
the corsair is next, pappy boyington tribute for sure. these 1/32 tamaya plane kits are slightly over my budget but damn they are nice model kits and I cant resist them. The blue nose is a nice choice Does anyone here now how I can find the old crow decals for my bird most dealers are sold out and I am kinda ify on Ebay I have bought alot of stuff from china and it is hit or miss and it takes months to get it
Havnt been on the forums for awile I love the barracuda decals probebly the best on the market
