About product

The real subject

The Bell P-39 Airacobra is an American fighter from the Second World War with an unusual layout: the Allison V-1710 engine, a V12, sits behind the cabin in the middle of the fuselage and drives the propeller through a long shaft led under the floor of the cabin. The nose, thus freed, received nose landing gear and a 37 mm cannon firing through the axis of the propeller hub. The cabin was not climbed into under a sliding canopy but through side doors of the automobile type with a wind-down window. The P-39Q version was the most numerous and a large part of the production headed for the Soviet Union, where the machine proved its worth at low altitudes.

What the set is for

The set covers the glazing of a model while it is being sprayed. The masks are cut to the shape of the frames, so the transition between the frame and the clear part comes out sharp and straight, which with tape in the small 1:72 scale is done badly. On the Airacobra that goes double, because the glazing consists of the windshield, both side doors with windows and the rear panels.

Work tips

  • wash the clear part before masking and let it dry thoroughly; do not touch it with your fingers
  • settle the mask with tweezers and press the edges home with a toothpick, so that paint does not run under them
  • spray in thin coats; a thick coat creates a step at the edge
  • take the mask off shortly after the paint has dried, not only after a longer time

Terms of supply

The set is an accessory to a plastic kit in 1:72 scale. A model, paints and glue are not included in the delivery, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

For the glazing of a model, that is, for the frames of the glazing of the cabin. On the Airacobra the windshield, the side doors with windows and the rear panels belong here.

Before spraying, onto a clean and dry clear part. Once the paint has dried they are taken off, best of all shortly afterwards, not only after a longer time.

The masks are cut to the shape of a particular kit. Which one the set is drawn for is given in the manufacturer's instructions.

It is not. It is an accessory to a kit, and paints and glue are not in it, unless stated otherwise.
