Eduard 8067 Bell P-39N Airacobra ProfiPACK 1:48 Model Kit

This is a 1:48 scale model kit.

No, the kit requires separate purchase of adhesives, paints, and modeling tools.

The kit includes six decal options: three for US versions and one for a Soviet version.

This ProfiPack edition is recommended for experienced modelers due to its complexity and the inclusion of photo-etched parts and paint masks.

Photo-etched parts are thin metal pieces, typically brass or stainless steel, that are chemically etched to create highly detailed and precise components for models.

Peel the stickers from their backing and carefully apply them to the areas you wish to mask before painting. Once painting is complete and dry, gently peel the masks away.

A plastic cement or styrene glue specifically designed for model kits is recommended for bonding the plastic parts.

Double-check the part numbers and orientation against the instructions. Minor sanding or filing of mating surfaces may be required for a perfect fit. Ensure no excess plastic or mold release agent remains on the parts.

Ensure surfaces to be glued are clean and free of dust, grease, or paint. Use the appropriate type of adhesive for plastic models (e.g., styrene cement). Allow sufficient drying time for each bond.

Apply decals to a smooth, glossy surface for best adhesion. Use decal setting solutions to help them conform to surface details and prevent silvering. Handle decals with care using tweezers and allow them to soak in water for the recommended time before application.

Ensure the plastic surface is properly primed before painting. Thin paints to the correct consistency for airbrushing or brush painting. Avoid painting in humid or cold conditions, which can affect paint finish.
