Well I just got my first 1/32nd Corsair and thats Big Hog. I'm very impressed but what I cant figure out is why 21st couldnt have done this with their big 1/18th scale Corsairs? But again I'm very impressed with Big Hog and it comes close to ranking right up there with my 1/18th Marines Dream BBI Corsair as far as detail goes. Right now its parked next my 1/18th Ira Kepford Corsair as a salute to VF-17 one of the greatest Navy Squadrons of WW 2. Great job 21st on another 1/32nd plane. Keep it up.


:D

The 32x Corsair is a great model, with the "Big Hog" version being my favorite scheme and the "Devil Dogs" version a close second. 21c couldn't (or at least didn't) do that sort of detail with their 1:18 Corsair as it was an older, pre-Roy Sutherland model. The 21c Corsair was awesome when first released in 2002, but the times have changed. I totally agree that the 32x Corsair is nearly on par with the BBI version in terms of detail and that it exceeds the 1:18 21c version. The 32x Stuka also does the same with its larger brethren 8)

Yes, Yes, Yes, that is an awesome aircraft!!!! I love it, and I also would reccomend the VMF 115 one, cause it is awesome, that one is my favorite, it has the same paint tone as the Flight 19 Avenger!!, It is sweet! :wink:

Well they at least made a paint prototype of Big Hog in 1/18 as it's on the box of all the original Corsair releases. Wish they would've released that scheme as well.

vmf214,

I agree with you 100%. That would have been cool to have sitting next to my Ike Kepford Corsair. But Big Hog sits next to it now. Only smaller.
