About product

Quickboost 1:48 F4U-1 Corsair - resin landing gear covers

This resin detail set in 1:48 scale adds finely cast landing gear covers to a model of the Vought F4U-1 Corsair carrier fighter. It is not an aircraft kit but an accessory that replaces the needlessly thick plastic covers from the box with thin parts with faithful internal structure. The set is intended for more experienced modelers.

The real subject

The Vought F4U Corsair was an American carrier fighter of the Second World War, easily recognized by its inverted gull wing. It was powered by a strong radial engine and the machine became famous in the hands of US Navy and Marine Corps pilots in the Pacific. Thin, faithfully rendered landing gear covers lift the impression of open gear bays considerably.

Usage and painting tips

First wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water to remove the mold release agent from the mold. Separate the covers from the casting blocks by cutting, not by snapping, and bond them with super glue (cyanoacrylate). Sand the resin with respiratory protection or wet, because resin dust is harmful. Spray the inner faces of the covers with a base coat and bring them out with a wash and a dry brush.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers building the F4U-1 Corsair who want thin landing gear covers
  • More experienced builders used to working with resin
  • Lovers of American carrier aviation of the Second World War
  • Those looking for a striking improvement in detail with a minimum of work

It is supplied as an unglued and unpainted resin set. Glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package.

FAQ

No. It is an accessory, resin landing gear covers that will improve the detail of an F4U-1 Corsair model. The model itself is not included.

They are thinner and have a more faithfully rendered internal structure, so the open landing gear bays look more realistic.

Bond resin with super glue (cyanoacrylate). Ordinary liquid cement for plastic does not hold on resin.

Yes, washing in lukewarm soapy water to remove the mold release agent is recommended; otherwise the paint holds less well.
