About product

Masking set Bell AH-1G Huey Cobra in 1:72 scale

This is a masking set for a model of the Bell AH-1G Huey Cobra attack helicopter in 1:72 scale. It is neither a kit nor a part for adding detail - the masks serve to protect the glazing while spraying and to get sharp, straight cockpit frames with no paint running under them. In 1:72 that tells especially: cutting tape by hand for frames this small almost always ends in a ragged edge.

How to work with the masks

Lift a mask off the backing with tweezers, lay it on the clear part and press it down with a toothpick or a skewer, so that no air bubble is left anywhere. Smooth the edges over once more for good measure - that is where the paint most often creeps under. It pays to spray the glazing first in the interior shade, then in the base color of the airframe, so that the frames look right from inside as well. Take the masks off shortly after the paint has dried, not after several days, when the adhesive separates less easily.

The real subject

The Bell AH-1G Huey Cobra is an American attack helicopter with a narrow fuselage and a tandem cockpit. It is precisely that narrow glazing with its many frames that makes masking most troublesome, so a ready-made set of masks pays off more on this type than on machines with a simple canopy.

Who the set is for

  • modelers of helicopters in 1:72 scale
  • builders who spray with an airbrush and want sharp frames
  • beginners for whom cutting tape takes more time than the whole rest of the build
  • everyone who wants to save themselves repairs to paint that has crept onto the glazing

The masks are supplied without paints and without a kit. Check the contents of the set beyond the name against the details on the packaging.

FAQ

The name does not state the scope of the masks. It is a masking set for a model of the type in question; check the particular list of masked areas against the details on the packaging.

Masks are made for the particular shape of a clear part. The name does not state a target kit; before buying, compare the shape of the clear part of your own kit with the masks.

Shortly after the paint has dried. If you leave them on the model too long, the adhesive separates less easily and there is a risk of it pulling a layer of paint away as well.
