Genxie Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Can anyone inform me about Trumpeters 1 32 kit for the Corsair F4U 1D with regards two questions : 1 : can I paint the clear engine cowling directly or do I have to prep it in some way ? Someone suggested spraying Scotchgard on the surface. 2 : how does the acetate film instrument panel get glued or attached in between the back and front panel pieces ? Theres no place to spot glue into any area... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmovik Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Never built Trumpeter's big Corsair, but I suggest you paint the inside of the clear cowling with the interior colour to avoid see through effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter96 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 In reply to Sturmovik above, I think he meant to say paint the OUTSIDE of the clear part. Painting the insdide surface would produce a very odd-looking cowling. I would recommend you prime the cowling before you paint it. Cheers.

Had a brain fart yesterday. Yes, paint the outside with a primer and the add the camouflage colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
