Question folks,
I’m having trouble finding a canopy mask for the Tamiya 1/48 F4U-1A Corsair. Masks for the Hobby Boss version are easily found but not for Tamiya. Is there a difference? It would seem to me they would be the same as they are based on the same plane. Is there a substitute, like using the mask for a D model? Or am I just going to have to do it the old-fashioned way and mask it myself?
Please advise and thank you in advance!
I had a quick look on Scalemates…
Here’s the first hit that came up… It’s advertised to work for the 1A and 1D, but I don’t really know the difference between the two variants and whether that affects the canopy dimensions
But if you scroll down the bottom on this link [see Scheme (Masks)], it looks like there are many offerings:

Thanks pr154, and keavdog. I saw those in my previous searches and was hoping for something shipped from the good ole USA. And I wasn’t sure the D model masks would work. Ultimately I went with the kitmask version but the shipping was more than the product. Oh well, you can’t take it with you!
