## Description

desertcart.com: Fascinations Metal Earth F4U Corsair 3D Metal Model Kit : Arts, Crafts & Sewing

Review: So very cool. Should have started sooner. - Bought my first one from Air Force aviation museum in Okaloosa Florida and was immediately hooked. Excellent model. Enjoyed assembling so much I ordered a different plane and will most likely order another one. These are very well made and fun to assemble. Would be an excellent project to do with teen children and grandchildren. Definitely recommend and will be purchasing more. Way more models than I have time for because I didn't discover these until I was 65 years old, dernit.
Review: A nice detailed model - I built this model 6th out of the 8 I've constructed so far. Relative to the other kits, I would say this kit is about average. The ending model itself is quite nice. The construction is pretty fun and the number of pieces is average. For difficulty in building I'd give this a 3.5 - 4 on a scale of 1-5. The most challenging part of this kit is the tail assembly. Attaching the vertical stabilizer and tail to the fuselage is tricky and a touch frustrating. The ending fit on my model was a little weak. The other challenging part of this kit was the rounding of the engine cowl. The instructions imply that you should be able to round the cowl. I chose to leave it in its octagonal shape to avoid trying to round pieces that were also being folded. If you enjoy WWII planes, I would recommend starting with the Mustang or the Zero before building the Corsair. This kit is built from a single sheet of metal (as reflected by the price) as compared to the 2-sheet models that are more complex. Therefore the construction is quicker and more straight forward than some of the more challenging kits. Disclaimer regarding bad reviews by others (I'm starting to post this on all my Metal Earth reviews now): Be careful when reading the bad reviews posted by some. Some people blame their inability to complete this style kit on the kit itself. Don't be fooled, the kit itself is very high quality. The detail is superb, and the metal pieces are sturdy if you don't bend them repetitively (as you would if you made a mistake). Hence, I continue to recommend these kits to experienced builders with good manual dexterity. This is probably better suited to adult builders.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a very small but challenging model and NOT a toy.
*by A***N on November 16, 2013*

This product and all of the Metal Earth items are not toys. They are an intricate model that takes patience and skill to complete. They were not FUN to put together but challenging. The result s very satisfying and the models striking. Do not give this to a child or anyone who has a short attention span or gets frustrated easily. They are fragile before you start building, during the building process and after. The metal bends very easily and care must be taken to properly shape those pieces that require shaping. The right tools are essential. You will need fine needle nose pliers, tweezers, straight edges for bending, a shear cutter to remove the pieces from the metal sheet and a good magnifying lamp. The effort will be worth it.
