Replacement seats for the cockpit of a model of the AH-1G Cobra attack helicopter in 1:72 scale, meant according to the title for the Special Hobby kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
The AH-1G Cobra is an American attack helicopter with a strikingly narrow fuselage and a crew of two who sit one behind the other: the gunner in front, with the pilot behind and above him. The cockpit is glazed along both sides, so both seats are visible on a finished model from either flank. In 1:72 scale, meanwhile, the space is so small that it is precisely the shape and the depth of the seats that decide how convincing the view inside looks.
The set replaces the seats from the kit with parts whose modeling is deeper and more complex than can be expected of a two-part pressed shape in such a small area. According to the title it is meant for the Special Hobby kit in 1:72 scale. How many parts the package holds and which kit number the set belongs to should be checked against the manufacturer's information on the packaging and in the instructions.
The parts are not of polystyrene, and cement for plastic models will not join them; reach for cyanoacrylate or two-part glue and degrease the mating surfaces before joining. Cut the excess material off with a sharp blade a little away from the part and sand the rest down, so that a flat area is left for the seat to stand on. Before painting, wash the parts in lukewarm water with a drop of detergent and let them dry, otherwise the paint will not hold. Seat the seats into the cockpit while the model is still under construction, before you close the fuselage up, because afterwards you will not be able to reach them. The detail will stand out with a dark glaze into the folds and a light pass of a dry brush over the edges.
The replacement parts named are supplied. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the delivery, unless stated otherwise.
