About product

F4U Corsair Birdcage, an O-max masking set (1:48)

A masking set from the O-max range from the Omask brand for a model of the American carrier fighter Vought F4U-1 Corsair in its early form with the canopy nicknamed Birdcage, in 1:48 scale. The densely framed sliding canopy, which gave this form of the Corsair the name of a bird cage, is among the most demanding masking areas a model of an aircraft can offer, and it is precisely for this version that the set is cut according to the name. The prepared templates will allow you to concentrate on the painting itself instead of hours spent with a knife and tape. The target kit is the Tamiya one.

The real subject

The early F4U-1s with the Birdcage canopy went into the fighting at the beginning of 1943 over the Solomon Islands, where the Corsair quickly won the respect of its opponents. The characteristic inverted gull wing made it possible to use short and sturdy landing gear even with the giant diameter of the propeller. Later production blocks were given a raised cockpit canopy with a better view, so the framed bird cage stayed the recognition mark of the earliest machines, today much sought after among modelers.

The procedure for painting

Spray the naval camouflages of American machines from the lightest lower surfaces, and the transitions between fields can be left softer on them. Settle the templates on a polished surface or one treated with gloss varnish, as you will thereby lower the risk of paint running under the edges.

We recommend it to

  • builders of early Corsairs in 1:48 scale
  • modelers of US Navy and Marine Corps aviation
  • everyone who faces masking a richly framed canopy

FAQ

The richly framed sliding cockpit canopy of the earliest F4U-1s, which recalled a bird cage. Later blocks were given a raised canopy.

The early form has a low, densely framed canopy; if your model has a raised canopy with fewer frames, the set does not correspond to it.

Typical are the American naval schemes from the fighting over the Solomon Islands in 1943 in shades of gray and blue.
