Bell P-39 Aircobra – Historical Information

The Bell P-39 Aircobra was an American fighter extensively used during World War II (production years: 1940–1944). The aircraft was mainly operated by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF), but also by allies, including the Soviet Union (supplied under Lend-Lease), as well as France and Italy. It gained the most fame on the Eastern Front, where it became one of the most effective fighters of the Red Army, participating in numerous combat operations including the battles for Stalingrad.

Product Features:

• Dedicated masks for precise painting of cockpit glazing, made of special black matte foil, facilitating accurate positioning on the model.
• Masks are designed for both external and internal canopy frames, allowing a professional finish on the inside of the cockpit as well.
• Super Mask: The set includes stencils for painting authentic markings (roundels, stars, letters), developed based on archival materials and four-view aircraft drawings.
• The masks have suitable durability and flexibility, do not deform on curved surfaces, and feature a gentle adhesive that does not tear off the layer of paint when removed.
• Semi-transparent film makes it easier to position the mask accurately, even on hard-to-reach model parts.
