Build the Magic Factory F4U-1A Corsair - Part 3: How To Extend Those Folded Wings

[@lesthiele4921]

Hi John, that was a great update, just like the old saying ' measure twice - cut once' always check your work and then glue, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia, Les

Hi Les- the wings went together fairly well except that one assignment issue. I'm happy with the results so far. Thanks for watching and regards from Texas!

Glad to see this, and that you have the option now. I’m really enjoying your coverage of this kit

[@MisterGsWorkbench]

Thanks very much Kevin- I appreciate you watching. I should have the next part ready this week.

I finished the 2nd plane last weekend. This is a really really nice kit - paint masks and PE are included. I thought the instructions were a bit lacking, critical illustrations were shaded - looked like they were photocopied. Didn’t occur to me to straighten the bent wing, but your “how to “ was really interesting 😃. I made a rookie mistake with the 1st fuselage by. Installing the engine firewall upside down. Figured that out the next day and fixed that, but then I had to do a bit of bondo. So that fuselage became the bent wing model - the bent wings hide the affected area 😁. When I compared the Magic Factory Corsair to the Tamiya, the Magic Factory is clearly the more detailed model. And of course blows the doors off my Academy F4U 😂

There's been talk about the rivet patterns being fictional but I'm not gonna lie- it doesn't matter to me when the kit builds up this nice. You're absolutely right- the instructions leave a bit to be desired for sure. Thanks for your feedback!

Great video buddy.....must have spent a fortune on that model wearing the tshirt ❤

[@MisterGsWorkbench]

Thank you- that guy was very hard to work with!

[@jcwoodman5285]

Sweet!😊 This kit set is on my list & I'm very tempted by thier new A4 Skyhawk set!

[@MisterGsWorkbench]

I'm right there with you - waiting on that A-4M like it'll be Christmas! Thank you for watching!

[@crisovejanegra3517]

Excellent! Thank you 🙌

[@MisterGsWorkbench]

Glad you enjoyed it- thanks for watching!

Hi John, nice work. I saw this kit at my most visited retailer and dismissed it for some reason. Might have to go back and grab it. I built the Tamiya version some years ago so would be interesting to see how this one stacks up.

[@MisterGsWorkbench]

Thank you- to be honest I haven't built the Tamiya Corsair but I've watched a couple of builds and this kit definitely has more detail and the wings go together a little easier. So far it's been a hassle free build.

Just a comment for the algorithm.

[@MisterGsWorkbench]

Thanks again!

[@pipmoss1415]

I don't see the necessity of neutral flaps as a disadvantage because they were generally/often retracted on F4U-1s, unlike -4s.

[@MisterGsWorkbench]

As long as they look correct- that's the important thing. Appreciate your input and thanks for watching!
