Responsibility details are not available.
A figure cast in modeling resin in 1:32 scale, intended to complete a model of an aircraft, a diorama or a cabinet. The name allows for two readings of the same figure of a Japanese pilot from the Second World War period; whether the package contains alternative parts allowing both forms is stated on the box. It is not a kit of an aircraft or a finished model; you are buying a casting to complete yourself.
Cast resin captures fine detail that injection-molded plastic cannot reach at this scale, but it calls for a different procedure from a plastic kit. First wash the casting in lukewarm soapy water and let it dry; otherwise the mold release agent stops the paint from adhering. The casting blocks tend to be led into the base or the heels of the figure so that they do not reach into the visible surfaces; cut them off with a fine saw or a new blade, sand the remainder down, and under no circumstances snap them off. Run a file and fine sandpaper over the parting seam left by the mold on the sides of the figure, and fill any small bubbles. Protect your airways while sanding. Join any separate parts with cyanoacrylate glue.
The basis is a thin primer. Build the face and hands up on a mid flesh layer, into which a darker shadow in the recesses and a lighter tone on the raised areas are added; oil paints allow slow blending, acrylics a quicker approach. Fabric parts are brought to life by a wash running into the folds and a light dry brush on the edges. Leather elements will take more gloss than cloth. Leave the harness, the buckles and the small fittings until the end and apply them with a fine brush. Finally a matte coat, which evens out the surface and protects the paint.
The figure is supplied unpainted and unassembled. Glue, paints and a base are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
