About product

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

A set of masking templates for spraying the national insignia onto a model of the attack helicopter Bell AH-1G Cobra in 1:48 scale. Careful, these are not glazing masks for the cabin nor decals - it is a different kind of product with a different purpose.

Why spray the insignia instead of using a decal

A decal is always a thin layer of finish with a carrier film that stays on the model. On a flat or even slightly rough surface that film gives itself away by a glossy outline around the insignia, by so-called silvering. A sprayed insignia has no film: it is paint on paint, so it lies in the plane of the surface, and after a clear coat is sprayed over it even the last hint of a transition disappears. On top of that it holds where a decal has trouble - across riveting, across sharp edges of panels and across surfaces that meet at an angle.

How insignia masks are worked with

The surface has to be smooth and dry. Transfer the template to the place, press it down and first spray a light base, so that the resulting color covers even on a dark airframe. Once it has gone tacky the actual shade of the insignia follows, again in thin coats. Take the template off while the paint is fresh, and then even the whole model out with a final clear coat. Most insignia masks are multi-part and the individual parts are applied one after another, so think the order of colors out in advance.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers who are bothered by the silvering of decals on flat surfaces.
  • Builders who want to wear the markings, fade them or overspray them partly.
  • Those who work on machines with marked riveting and an intricate surface.
  • More experienced builders willing to devote more than water and a brush to the markings.

FAQ

They are not. This set deals with the national insignia on the airframe; the glazing of the cabin is a separate item.

Yes, within the extent of the insignia the set covers. The insignia is sprayed straight onto the surface and no carrier film is left behind.

So that the resulting color covers even on a dark finish. Without a base the shade would darken and act weakly.

Glazing masks do not contain the insignia. They are two different kinds of product and separate items.
