About product

Canopy masks 1:72 Ki-43-I Hayabusa (Dead Design Models)

A set of pre-cut masking stencils in 1:72 scale for the Ki-43 fighter aircraft in its first production pattern. The masks are cut from fine kabuki-type masking tape, easily follow the rounded cockpit canopy and leave no adhesive on the glazing once taken off. Besides the cockpit frames, the set covers the wheel discs as well. It is an accessory to a kit, not the model itself.

The real subject

The Nakajima Ki-43 Hayabusa was a single-seat army fighter aircraft with a radial engine and retractable landing gear, carried by the Allies under the code name Oscar. The design banked on low weight and agility, to which the so-called combat flaps also contributed. The Ki-43-I pattern was the first production version and differed from the later ones in the shape of the wing, of the cowling and in details of the glazing. That is precisely why it needs its own set of masks.

Use and masking tips

Degrease the clear parts and let them dry out completely. Lift the masks off the film with tweezers, lay them on the frame and press them down with a toothpick, mainly on the curves. First spray the interior paint, then a very thin sealing coat of the exterior paint and finally the full color in two or three light coats. Take the stencils off shortly after drying and at an acute angle. Mask the wheel discs only once the tire has been varnished, and the transition will then come out sharply.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of Japanese army fighters in 1:72 scale
  • Modelers who want even and sharp cockpit frames
  • Those who find masking fluid hard to work with in a small scale
  • Anyone who builds several patterns of the Ki-43 type

It is an accessory to a model, not a kit. The model itself, paints and glue are not included in the package.

FAQ

No. The patterns differ in the shape of the glazing and in details of the airframe; a separate set of masks is intended for the second series.

No, it is a masking accessory to a model. The model itself, paints and glue are not included in the package.

Kabuki-type masking tape has a weak adhesive intended for modeling use and nothing is left on the clear part once it is taken off.

It is not necessary. It is enough to press the edges down properly and to start with a very thin coat of paint, which will seal the edge.
