How to Build...
TAMIYA 1:32 F4U-1A
and F4U-1D CORSAIR
NEW
in the
‘HOW TO BUILD...’
series
When Tamiya released their 1:32 scale Spitfire
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
camouflage 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 significant 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
the 1:32 scale F4U-1D and F4U-1A, offering plenty
of inspiration with two different configurations and
colour schemes.
We have also a bonus Chapter on building Tamiya’s
1:48 scale Corsair family, offer some tips for
painting pilot figures and include a helpful walk
around of a Corsair under restoration.

IN THIS
Hello everyone, welcome to the
April 2018 edition of your favourite
aviation modelling magazine!
This month sees us begin a regular feature on the
increasingly popular scale of 1:144. For many years the
domain of the airliner fans amongst you, over recent years
modellers have started to realise that the scale works
equally well for those keen to build other subjects such as
military aircraft, where the quality of recent kits, their ease
of assembly, diminutive size and delicacy once finished, all
combine to create wonderfully engaging projects. This time
around Roy Kinsella kicks things off with his build of the Platz
F-8 Crusader and then a look at some new releases that you
may find interesting. Over the coming months we will build on
this initial feature to bring you others that we hope will show
you just how impressive models in this scale can be. Our
feature begins on page 22.
Jets from the immediate post-war years make for attractive
replicas, their curved lines and colourful markings allowing
some contrast to the grey jets of today. Taking this into
account, Greg Phillips has tackled the impressive Airfix
Meteor F.8, painting it in the overall Aluminium finish that so
defined aircraft from this period. His feature begins on page
38.
Zoukei-Mura have certainly created some fine kits over the
last few years, none more so that their Phantom family. We
took a look at their F-4J some months ago, well, now it’s time
for their F-4S to shine, Mike Williams taking time out to build
one of the later jets from this famous collection of fighters.
His step-by step feature starts on page 46.
It might be modelled in 1:72, but there is no denying just
how commanding the Flanker is in miniature. This month
Huw Morgan builds the Trumpeter 1:72 Su-33 Flanker D, the
navalised variant that looks so impressive with everything
folded up! Trumpeter’s kit is made all the more impressive
thanks to the inclusion of a section of carrier deck which Huw
uses to great effect as part of his in-depth feature that begins
on page 28.
AND FINALLY…
If you are looking for something different to build, how
about a fantasy aircraft from an animated film? The plot
revolves around an Italian World War I ex-fighter ace, now
living as a freelance bounty hunter chasing “air pirates” in the
Adriatic Sea. However, an unusual curse has transformed
him into an anthropomorphic pig. Once called Marco Pagot
(Marco Rossolini in the American version), he is now known
to the world as “Porco Rosso”, Italian for “Red Pig”. In the
film he flies a wonderfully attractive Savoia S-21 and it’s this
aircraft that we see built for this issue - we hope you approve!
So this is the April edition of Model Airplane International.
I hope you enjoy this issue and I hope to see you again next
month!
