About product

Masks for the glazing of the Corsair F4U-1 Birdcage in 1:32 scale

The package contains masking templates for spraying the glazed surfaces, not a plastic model. The shapes of the templates are based on the early cockpit of the Vought F4U-1 with greenhouse glazing from the Tamiya kit. The words double-sided in the name refer to the version for the outer and the inner side of the canopy, so the framing looks convincing even when you look into the cockpit of a finished model.

The real subject

The Vought F4U-1 was an American carrier fighter with a gull wing and a massive radial engine. The earliest production machines had a tall cockpit whose canopy was divided by a dense network of narrow bars. That is where the nickname birdcage comes from. In 1:32 scale this network of frames is especially conspicuous and it decides whether a finished Corsair looks convincing.

Recommended procedure

  • Degrease the canopies before work and let them dry completely.
  • Take the individual templates out with fine-tipped tweezers.
  • Make sure the edges sit down along their whole length, or the paint will run underneath.
  • Apply the shade in several light passes with an airbrush.
  • Take the templates off the moment the paint has become tacky, not after several days.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of the large Corsair who are bothered by blurred frame edges.
  • Modelers who want a visually clean cockpit from the inside too.
  • Anyone who would rather spend the time on detail than on trimming tape by hand.

FAQ

It is not. You are buying the masking templates for the glazing only, and you have to have your own Corsair kit from Tamiya.

It refers to the early tall cockpit of the F4U-1, whose canopy is divided by a great many narrow bars resembling a cage.

The framing is visible from the inner side of the glazing too, which suits a model with the canopy open, where you can see into the cockpit.

Best shortly after the paint has become tacky. On a fully cured coat the edges peel more easily and the line frays.
