About product

Dead Design 1:48 AH-1G Cobra Early - national insignia masks

Masking templates for spraying the national insignia onto a model of the Bell AH-1G Cobra in the early production form, scale 1:48. The set does not deal with the glazing of the cabin but with the markings on the surface of the airframe.

Sprayed markings step by step

The procedure is different from decals and it is worth going through it in advance. The surface has to be smooth, dry and best of all clear coated, so that the mask has something to grip and at the same time does not pull the paint off. Transfer the template to the place, press it down around the whole perimeter and check that no gap is left anywhere - paint runs under an insignia mask more readily than under a mask for a frame, because its outline is more intricate. A light base follows, and once it has gone tacky the actual shade. If the insignia has several colors, it is applied in layers and between them the partial templates are changed, so plan the order before you start.

Where it shows

You will see the difference against a decal mainly on a flat finish and on an intricate surface. A decal on such an area gives itself away by a glossy border, while a sprayed insignia merges with its surroundings, because it is simply another layer of paint. A bonus on top of that: sprayed markings can be sanded, weathered and partly wiped away without risk, so a faded or oversprayed insignia can be shown faithfully.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of the early version of the AH-1G in 1:48 scale.
  • Modelers who want markings without glossy borders.
  • Those who work with weathering and wear of the surface.
  • More experienced builders who do not mind painting markings in several steps.

FAQ

It does not. The glazing of the cabin is dealt with by other items; this set is intended for the national insignia exclusively.

Onto a smooth, dry and best of all clear coated surface. On fresh or rough paint it does not hold and the paint runs under it.

On a dark base yes. A light base ensures that the resulting color covers and does not turn gray.

Yes. Sprayed markings will take sanding and washes much like the paint around them, which with a decal tends to be a risk.
