About product

Masks 1:72 A5M2b Early Claude, Dead Design

A set of precisely cut self-adhesive masks in 1:72 scale for the early version of the Mitsubishi A5M2b carrier fighter, carried by the Allies under the code Claude. The early batches of the A5M2b were marked out by an enclosed cabin canopy; on a small model it is a small, busy part whose frames are hard to paint freehand. The masks ensure sharp lines first time.

Using the masks

The masks are transferred onto a cleaned and degreased clear part, the edges are lightly pressed down and the canopy is then sprayed together with the camouflage. The paint does not creep under, the frame lines stay perfectly straight and the clear part needs no cleaning up afterwards. Once the paint has dried, the films are gently pulled away with no adhesive residue. Suitable for an airbrush and for a brush.

The real subject

The Mitsubishi A5M was the first monoplane carrier fighter of the Imperial Japanese Navy and the direct predecessor of the famous Zero. It was characterized by fixed landing gear in aerodynamic fairings and outstanding agility. The early machines of the A5M2b version received an enclosed cabin canopy, which was abandoned again on the later batches; that is exactly what makes the early version interesting among modelers.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of the early A5M2b in 1:72 who want clean frames on the enclosed canopy.
  • Modelers of smaller scales, where going round frames by hand is hardest.
  • Anyone interested in Japanese aviation of the 1930s and prewar carrier machines.

This is a modeling accessory: the aircraft kit is not included in the package.

FAQ

The early batches of the A5M2b had an enclosed cabin canopy; on the later machines the open cockpit with just a windshield returned. This set is intended precisely for the enclosed canopy.

Work with tweezers, degrease the part in advance and press the edges of the masks down carefully with a toothpick. Spray in thin coats, so that the paint does not creep under.

Yes, the masks work with an airbrush and with brush painting alike; all that matters is pressing the edges down well.
