About product

Mitsubishi A6M2a/b Reisen 1:48 - landing gear bay masks

Die-cut self-adhesive masks for the landing gear bays of the early Zero versions in 1:48 scale. They cover the openings in the underside of the wing for as long as the outer color and the varnish are being sprayed, so that the inside of the bay stays in its own shade.

What to do about a bleed

Even a well-applied mask does not ensure a perfect result if the paint is laid on too wet or sprayed at an angle under the edge. A bleed is recognizable right after the mask is lifted, as a narrow irregular strip reaching inward. Deal with it at once, while the paint is fresh: a cotton swab lightly moistened with the thinner for that paint will wipe the strip away without damaging the cured layer beneath it. Once the paint has cured, the cleaner route is to paint the bleed over in the shade of the bay with a fine brush and even the edge out, rather than to sand it. Prevention is simple: press the mask down all the way around, spray perpendicularly and in thin coats, and do not lay a mask on a surface with sanding dust on it.

The real subject

In the early period of the war the A6M2 Reisen was the standard Japanese carrier fighter, known under the Allied name Zeke and among modelers as the Zero. The Model 11 and Model 21 forms differed mainly in the solution of the wing, with folding tips on the carrier version. The design was pursued consistently for low weight, which gave the aircraft great range and excellent agility.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of early Zeros in 1:48 scale.
  • Modelers who want a clean edge with no subsequent touching up.
  • Those who build a model with the gear down.
  • Airbrush painting, where a bleed shows immediately.

FAQ

Wipe it away at once with a cotton swab lightly moistened with the thinner for that paint. On a cured bleed, touching up with a brush in the shade of the bay is cleaner.

Press the mask down all the way around and spray perpendicularly and in thin coats. One heavy wet coat always creeps under more easily than three weak ones.

According to the name it is the early A6M2 form. Compare it with the version you are building.
