There's a lot to like about Magic Factory's all-new 1/48 scale F4U-1 / F4U-2 Corsair kit.

Magic Factory has brought a very well detailed and not overly complex Corsair option to the table.

One of the most thoughtful aspects of the Magic Factory kit is the inclusion of two different sets of wings - one set folded and a second dedicated extended set. One of the few awkward elements of Tamiy'sa kit is the tricky fit between the outer wing panels and the inner wing sections if you wanted to build the wings extended. This won't be an issue with the Magic Factory kit.

Also, surface textures are impressively restrained. Recessed rivets are selective and detail is good. It looks like Magic Factory has done their homework with details and options too.
