Is the Hasegawa Corsair Still Worth It? | 1/72 F4U-1 U.S. Navy Combo Review

With nearly 50 years of history, the Hasegawa 1/72 F4U Corsair has become a cheap, common, and simple kit that many modelers can still easily pick up today. But is it still worth building in 2025? In this video, I take a closer look at the Hasegawa Corsair, which first appeared in 1981. The version reviewed here is the 2013 U.S. Navy Combo reissue, the most recent boxing of this venerable tool. It includes decals for Pappy Boyington’s Corsair from the famous “Baa Baa Black Sheep” squadron, making it an interesting choice for both history buffs and Corsair fans. I’ll cover the box art, instructions, sprues, and decals, while also discussing whether this classic kit still holds up for beginners and budget modelers today—or if modern Corsair kits have left it behind. If you’re into Corsairs, WWII aircraft, or vintage model kits, this is one you won’t want to miss! More Corsair Inbox Reviews:   • Corsair Review Series   👉 Have you built this kit before?
