If you've visited this site before, you know I'm a fan of Corsairs, and Mr. Boyington inparticular -- courtesy of a childhood affinity for the Black Sheep
Squadron TV show. This is a nice-looking bird, for sure, which an excellent paint job and fit/finish. The usual SpecCast caveat applies however -- if
you're a stickler for 100% accuracy stay away from this line. If you like SpecCast models, this is a good one. Recommended.
