About product

DK Decals 1:48 Airacobra Mk.I in RAF service - a decal set

This is a set of water-slide decals in 1:48 scale from DK Decals. The set is devoted to the Bell Airacobra Mk.I fighter in service with the Royal Air Force (RAF) and offers several marking options for particular machines. It is neither a kit nor a finished model: the sheets add historically accurate national insignia and individual markings to a base plastic model.

The real subject

Airacobra Mk.I was the British designation of the American Bell P-39 / P-400 fighter with its unconventional layout of the engine behind the pilot and a nose landing gear. The RAF operated the machines briefly in 1941, among others with No. 601 Squadron. The finishes match period British camouflage schemes with RAF insignia.

Use and tips

  • Apply the decals onto a glossy, degreased surface, ideally over a coat of gloss varnish.
  • Dip the part in lukewarm water and, once it comes free, slide it off the backing into place.
  • Use a softener to settle it into the detail and finally even the surface out with a flat varnish.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers building Airacobra fighters in British service in 1:48 scale.
  • Anyone interested in less usual historical markings and in documented individual machines.
  • Enthusiasts of the RAF and of Allied aircraft of the early war.

The set contains decals only. The kit, paints, glue and varnish are not included in the package.
