About product

What the set is for

Photo-etched parts in 1:48 scale for a model of the Vought F4U-2 Corsair. Metal sheet makes it possible to produce elements in a thickness a plastic kit cannot manage: thin rims, small levers, buckles and fine grilles. It shows on a model at once, because it is precisely the thickness of the finest parts that reveals where the build stopped at the contents of the box.

The real subject

The Corsair is an American carrier fighter of the Second World War, and you recognize it at first glance by the inverted gull wing, which let the designers shorten the main landing gear under a large propeller. The designation F4U-2 belongs to the night fighter conversion, which carried a radar in a pod on the wing. It was a small series of conversions, not the main production version.

How to work with photo-etch

  • back the part with a hard surface and cut it off with a sharp blade right at the edge
  • level the remains of the tab with a fine file or an abrasive sponge
  • make the bends in a bender, or over the edge of a metal ruler
  • make the joints with cyanoacrylate glue; polystyrene cement will not hold on metal
  • degrease the parts and spray a primer before painting, or the paint will rub off

Who it is for

The set belongs to more advanced builders who work with tweezers and do not mind fine work. Photo-etched sets are made to fit a particular kit, so check which one it matches and the procedure in the manufacturer's instructions. It is an accessory, not a model in its own right; the kit, paints and glue are not supplied with the set, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Photo-etched parts for an F4U-2 Corsair model. The manufacturer's instructions give the particular extent of the set and the assembly sequence.

Cyanoacrylate glue, or a two-part epoxy for larger subassemblies. Polystyrene cement will not hold on metal.

Yes, it is recommended. On degreased metal a primer anchors itself and the top coat then does not rub off.

No. Photo-etched sets are made to fit a particular kit, so check which one it matches against the manufacturer's data.
