About product

Peewit 1:72 Bell P-39Q Airacobra - set of painting masks

This package is not a kit, but an accessory: painting masks for a model of the Bell P-39Q Airacobra fighter in 1:72 scale. The masks do away with the tedious cutting of masking tape - they are stuck on before spraying and taken off once the paint has dried. With the Airacobra it is particularly worth it, because its glazing is not a single sliding canopy but several separate panes and door windows, which would be very laborious to mask with tape.

The real subject

The Bell P-39 Airacobra is an American single-seat fighter with an unusual layout: the engine is housed behind the cockpit, a drive shaft runs under the floor to the propeller, and the aircraft stands on retractable nose gear, which was not usual at the time it appeared. The cockpit was entered through car-type side doors. The Q version was among the most numerously produced variants of the whole series and differed from the earlier versions above all in the arrangement of its armament.

Tips for sticking the masks down and spraying

Degrease the surface and let it cure. Press the masks down all the way around with a blunt point, so no edge is left lifted. On glazing it helps to spray the edge of the mask with the interior color first - any creep then will not show on the final finish. Spray in thin coats and take the masks off shortly after the paint has flashed off, pulling at an angle to the side.

Who the set is for

  • builders of fighter aircraft in 1:72 scale
  • modelers who want clean framing of the glazing with no paint creeping under
  • anyone for whom masking takes the most time of the whole build
  • anyone interested in American aviation hardware of the 1940s

The package contains masks only. The model, paints and glue are not included, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. This is purely a masking set as an accessory for the build. The model, the paints and the glue are not in the package.

The cockpit glazing consists of several separate surfaces, including the windows in the side doors. Cutting tape for them by hand is tedious, and shaped masks shorten it to a few minutes.

The name gives only the type of aircraft and 1:72 scale. The particular kit is not stated, so it is better to compare the shape of the parts with your own model.
