About product

Eduard F4U-1 Corsair Birdcage 1:32 - painting masks

A set of precisely die-cut painting masks from the Czech maker Eduard in 1:32 scale for the naval Vought F4U-1 Corsair fighter in its early form with the heavily framed canopy known as the Birdcage. The masks, made of fine kabuki paper, follow the intricate glazing frames exactly. They are stuck onto the model, oversprayed with paint and lifted off once it has dried. This is an accessory for a plastic model, not a standalone model: the kit has to be obtained separately.

The real subject

The Vought F4U Corsair was an American carrier and land-based fighter of the Second World War with a characteristic inverted gull wing and a powerful Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radial engine. The early production F4U-1 machines had a heavily framed canopy set well back, which was called the Birdcage for its dense network of frames. It is precisely the intricacy of that canopy that makes hand masking so slow, and that is why pre-cut masks are especially welcome.

Use

  • Masking the intricate Birdcage glazing frames before spraying
  • The masks are stuck on, oversprayed with paint and lifted off once dry
  • A substantial saving of time on a densely framed canopy
  • Sharp and even edges on the frames

Who the masks are for

  • Modelers building the F4U-1 Corsair Birdcage in 1:32 scale
  • Anyone interested in clean masking of a heavily framed canopy
  • Beginners and advanced modelers who want to speed up painting the cabin

This is a set of painting masks, not an aircraft model. The kit itself, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It is the nickname for the early F4U-1 form with a densely framed canopy that resembles a bird cage. The masks are matched to precisely that intricate glazing.

No, this is a set of painting masks. It serves to mask the cabin frames while painting; the Corsair model itself has to be bought separately.
