About product

1:48 F4U-1D and F4U-4 — HGW wet transfers

This item is not a model and not a kit. It is a sheet of wet transfers in 1:48 scale, intended for models of the Vought F4U Corsair fighter in the F4U-1D and F4U-4 versions of the Second World War. Check the particular contents of the sheet, that is, whether these are technical markings, national insignia, personal markings or a combination of them, and the number of schemes covered, against the illustration on the packaging.

How wet transfers differ from decals

An ordinary decal stays on the model as a thin layer of varnish with a carrier film that gives itself away in certain light by a glossy border around the marking. With a wet transfer the carrier film is removed after the transfer and practically only the paint stays on the surface. The result therefore looks like markings sprayed straight onto the skin, which tells above all on matte camouflage and on large areas. The method differs from classic decals in its details, and the exact order of the steps is given in the instructions enclosed in the package; what they share is that the surface has to be smooth and glossy and that a transfer has to be pressed down carefully after being applied, so that it settles into the engraved lines as well.

The real subject

The Vought F4U Corsair was a carrier fighter with a characteristic inverted gull wing and a powerful radial engine. The F4U-1D version got a one-piece canopy with a better view and pylons for external stores, thanks to which it could take on attack tasks as well. The later F4U-4 meant a further stage of development: a more powerful powerplant, a four-blade propeller and a revised cockpit. Both versions are often built in modeling and clean markings stand out on them.

Who the sheet is for

  • For builders of F4U Corsair models in 1:48 scale
  • For modelers bothered by the visible border of the carrier film of decals
  • For matte camouflage finishes, where the film gives itself away most
  • For more advanced modelers willing to keep to the method in the instructions

This is an accessory for building a model, not a kit. The model, paints and varnishes are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. It is a sheet of wet transfers, that is, an accessory for building. You have to have the model itself or buy it separately.

The carrier film is removed after the transfer, so practically only the paint stays on the surface and the marking has no glossy border. The difference tells most on matte camouflage.

A smooth and glossy one. On a rough matte finish a transfer will not settle evenly and it shows at the edges.

The method is more demanding than with ordinary decals and forgives less. It pays to keep to the instructions in the package and to try one smaller element first.
