About product

Dead Design 1:48 AH-1G Cobra Early - glazing masks

A masking set for spraying the frames of the cabin of the Bell AH-1G Cobra in the early production form, scale 1:48. The qualifier Early in the name is not decoration: it decides which kit the set will fit.

Why the production batch matters

The Cobra was produced for a long time and the individual batches differed in details that carried over into the shape and division of the glazing as well. Modelers know it from practice - a set cut for a later form will lie on an early kit, but the edge diverges by tenths of a millimeter, and that is exactly the difference between a frame that looks like a frame and a frame that looks like an oversight. That is why the manufacturer keeps the early and the later form as separate sets and why it pays to buy the one that corresponds to the box on your table.

A dry test pays off

Before you reach for the paint, lay the key masks on the clear part dry and look against the light to see whether the edge sits in the molded engraving of the frame. When it does, you can go on: degrease the part, press the masks down from the center outward and only then spray. The proven procedure is to spray the shade of the interior or a dark base first, let it go tacky and only after that the top color of the airframe - the edge then holds even in the place where two colors meet.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of the early version of the AH-1G in 1:48 scale.
  • Modelers who want the frames even and without steps.
  • Those who would rather reach for an accurate set than retouch with a brush.
  • Collectors who build the Cobra in several forms side by side.

FAQ

It designates the early production form of the AH-1G. The set is cut for it and does not suit the later form.

No. The version is determined by the kit; the masks are chosen for it according to which form the kit represents.

It is enough to degrease it and let it dry. On a greasy or damp surface a mask will not adhere and the paint will run under.

There is not. These are masking templates exclusively, and the kit is sold separately.
