Tiger Model has not been quiet since its resurrection, with not only the Pantsir 2 kit, but this, the "cute" scale F4U-4 kit. We have the box contents to add to the lovely art in our preview...

F4U-4 Corsair
From Tiger Models
"Cute Scale" kit
Kit no #114
No website, but check out the Tiger Models Facebook page 
To add to their earlier spate of "cute" scale (don't say egg) planes, Tiger Model has released a new Corsair, the later WWII F4U-4. We have built two of them on our page, the Lavochkin La-7 Soviet Fighter by Andy Moore.
They have a bunch of other planes in the cute series that offered a little more detail than those before them... 
This F4U-4 Corsair kit has a simple construction, and even though simple to make, the cockpit and other detail areas have the definition there for your if you choose to endow it just like a "real" aircraft kit. 

Wings also fold which is nice!
There are two blue plastic sprues in the kit, wings and fuselage, plus the gear legs...
The second sprue has the wing roots, engine cowling and drop tanks, as well as an impressive instrument panel for a "cute" scale plane...
A clear canopy can be opened or closed, and the four-bladed prop picks this as a late war corsair.
That is all we have on this kit so far - 
Check out the Tiger Models Facebook page for more from them very soon...
