  1. John S –

    Usual Tamiya build quality but I have never come across such poor quality decals. I have built several Tamiya kits and quality has been excellent in all components and decals but this kit is let down by ultra thin decals which break apart when sliding them off the backing sheet – not as bad with the larger ones but forget the smaller ones. Even after leaving them in tepid water for the designated time they don’t slide easy and invariably split.

  2. Ken Knoke –

    This was a joy to build. The parts fit perfectly.

  3. Anna Holmes –

    Nice little kit, good details.

  4. edward thornback –

    good price and quality kit

  5. Eric –

    This is a great model, and definitely a step up from Revell kits. The fits are generally flush and there is very little flash. The landing gear is shockingly sturdy.

    My only major complaint lies in the decals. They are extremely thin, and tore like soaked tissue paper under the slightest of pressure. I employ micro set/sol when applying decals, and these were so thin that rips appeared due the rivets as the decal settled in and molded itself. Decals are generally the only thing that Revell excels at with their older kits, and I was discouraged to see that Tamiya’s decals are entirely inferior.

    All in all a fun build and one I hope to repeat. I would give it 4.5 stars if I could.

  6. Thomas A. Person –

    Nice model. Great model for detail. Donated finished model to local VFW. They love the look

  7. ChazT –

    Fantastic kit, went together really well. Only downside was the canopy – it broke in half when I tried to mask it. My fault really should have packed it out with tissue. Overall 5 out of 5.

  8. Deanna Sakellaris –

    Got this for Christmas. It goes together well ad is a joy to make. Good price too. I would suggest buying this.

  9. Mark Reynolds –

    The description on Amazon clearly says it includes a pilot.

    The box says right on it “Pilot Figure Not Included”.

  10. JR Giron –

    The only thing I noticed about this model kit…….there is no pilot figure in this kit.

  11. Omega60 –

    I’ve never had a bad kit from Tamiya. Detailing, fit, decals. All are always top notch. Best of all, when I discovered the cockpit was missing, and contacted their US representative, they mailed me a replacement in no time. The kit came out beautifully.

    I just finished the wildcat so now is the time to review it. This kit builds into a beautiful replica of an F4F wildcat. But beware. This kit is not for beginners. The wildcats unique landing gear makes for a difficult fit, so superglue, and a lot of patience are necessary. I was dissapointed with my build because of the poor decals. Some of them just broke up, but I was lucky to have some spares. Recommended for experienced and patient modelers.

  13. Anna Holmes –

    Excellent little kit .. Usual Tamiya quality…
