1:32 Ki-44 Shoki: Dead Design masks for the outer cockpit frames of the Japanese interceptor.
Responsibility details are not available.
The Dead Design set deals with the glazing of the Nakajima Ki-44 in 1:32 scale. The frames on this machine are fairly narrow and several of them converge at a sharp angle, so tape has to be trimmed by hand over and over. The die-cut shapes do away with that step and at the same time keep the width of the frame the same across all the panes, which is next to impossible when taping by hand.
The Japanese army listed the Ki-44 Shoki as the Type 2 Fighter, and the Allies gave it the name Tojo. It was not a classic maneuvering machine: short wings, a high wing loading and a powerful radial engine made it a climbing weapon against high-altitude bombers. Pilots used to agile types complained about its landing speed, but in the defense of the home islands against four-engine formations it proved useful.
Press the narrow shapes down through a piece of paper with the pad of your finger; direct contact with a fingernail tears a mask easily. Choose the interior shade according to the maker of the kit and spray it before you set the cockpit in place, otherwise it is hard to reach the frames from inside. Toward the end of the painting, check the edges against a dark background, where any bleed is easier to see than against a light board.
