Re-usable die-cut camo mask set
The set includes two sheets of masks (shown in the picture). The masks are made from thin masking tape, which is easy to be peeled off and doesn’t leave any stains. The tape is tested on clear and painted model too. If carefully removed after painting, they can be used over and over again. Material is flexible and easily applied over curved surfaces. Semi-transparent for easy and accurate placing.

The AH-1Z Viper is the latest of the famous line of attack helicopters based on AH-1 Cobra.The latter one was the very first dedicated attack helicopter in the World.
Decades after its initial release, AH-1W Super Cobra was introduced. The Z-model is the latest generation based on the original and it features four blade propeller and numerous upgrades and improvements, which makes it a completely different machine compared to its ancestor – the Cobra.

The Academy AH-1Z is the latest and so far the most sophisticated kit of the Bell AH-1Z Viper Attack Helicopter available. It is in 35th scale and represents very accurate miniature of the famous attack helicopter. The kit features bulged rivets, which is the most accurate representation of the original. Academy helicopter kits are very well accepted among modelers and this release is considered their highest achievement to this day.

I'm not sure how useful this set will be. The kit already contains canopy masks. I guess the masks for the markings could come in handy if you don't like decals. The kit decals are very nice though.
