About product

Art Scale decals 1:32 Bell AH-1G Cobra, part 7

This is a stand-alone decal sheet, not a model and not accessory parts. The set is intended for building the AH-1G Cobra attack helicopter in 1:32 scale and it is the seventh part of the decal series that Art Scale issues for this type in turn. The individual parts do not overlap; each brings different markings, so they can be combined. The designation HML-367 belongs to a Marine Corps unit nicknamed Scarface. Which particular machines the sheet holds should be checked on the packaging of the set.

How to apply the decals

A decal holds only on a smooth glossy surface. So varnish the painted area with gloss varnish and let it cure completely. Cut the motif out as close to the printing as possible, dip it in lukewarm water for a few seconds and set it down on a paper towel until the film releases from the backing paper of its own accord. Then slide it into place, press the water out with a soft brush from the center to the edges and draw off the excess. Over engraved lines and rivets a decal softener helps: start with a weaker solution and keep the strong one only for places where the decal is to be drawn down into a recess. Once dry, unify the surface with matte or semi-gloss varnish so that the edges of the carrier film disappear.

The real subject

The AH-1G Cobra was the first attack helicopter brought into service that was designed for that role from the outset. It came about using the powerplant and rotor of the proven Huey line, but it was given a narrow fuselage with two seats in tandem, a rotating chin turret and hardpoints on short stub wings. This layout became the pattern for the whole later generation of attack helicopters.

Who the set is for

  • builders of the AH-1G Cobra in 1:32 scale who want markings other than those from the box
  • collectors of Art Scale decal series for a single type
  • modelers focused on Marine Corps equipment
  • more experienced builders who work with a gloss base and with decal softeners

The package holds decals only. The model, paints and varnish are not included.

FAQ

No. This is only a decal sheet. The kit, paints and varnish have to be bought separately.

Check the particular machines on the packaging of the set. The markings belong to unit HML-367, nicknamed Scarface.

Yes. On matte paint air stays under the film and what is called silvering appears. Gloss varnish under the decal is a necessity with this set.

The series is built so that the individual parts complement each other and each brings different markings. They can also be bought on their own, though.
