About product

Nakajima B5N landing gear bay masks in 1:72 scale

The set serves to cover the inside of the landing gear bays at the moment the top varnish is sprayed onto the model. The bay is painted first, then it is covered with the mask and the rest of the model is finished with no risk of a shade getting inside where it does not belong. The masks are cut for 1:72 scale.

The real subject

The Nakajima B5N was a carrier torpedo and bomber aircraft of the Imperial Japanese Navy, listed by the Allies under the code name Kate. The B5N1 and B5N2 versions differed in the powerplant and in partial changes to the airframe. The machine had retractable main landing gear, so on a model built with the legs extended the bays are clearly visible.

The order of painting

The inside of the bay is sprayed first, because it tends to have a different shade from the outer surface of the airframe. The paint must dry thoroughly, and only then is the mask seated in the bay. The primer and the top varnish of the whole model follow. The masks are taken off only once the last coat has dried, so that the edge does not tear and the paint does not pull threads. Anyone who reverses the order sprays the bay a second time and never keeps a clean transition in the corners.

Who the set is for

  • builders of Japanese naval aircraft in 1:72 scale
  • modelers who build a model with the gear down
  • those who do not want to plug the bays with paper, cotton wool or putty
  • anyone wanting a clean transition between the shade of the bay and the shade of the airframe

FAQ

First the inside of the bay, let it dry, then fit the mask and only after that spray the primer and the top varnish of the whole model.

Tape is hard to shape in a deep bay and in the corners the paint creeps under it. A die-cut mask has its shape prepared in advance.

Only once the last coat has dried. From fresh varnish a mask comes away untidily and the paint pulls threads.
