The Mitsubishi J2M2/J2M3/J2M5/J2M6 Raiden landing gear bay masks 1:32 cover, according to the name, several subversions of the Raiden interceptor at once.
Responsibility details are not available.
A masking set for the landing gear bays of a model of the Japanese Mitsubishi Raiden interceptor in 1:32 scale. These are not parts for the build but self-adhesive templates cut to the shape of the bay, which close off its inside while the outer surface is sprayed.
One set, several subversions
The designation in the name gives four subversions of the Raiden at once, so the set is not tied to a single one of them. For the builder that means the templates fit the shape of the bay that stayed the same across these versions, which makes sense on the Raiden, because the differences between the individual J2M versions were concentrated mainly in the engine, the armament and the canopy, not in the landing gear.
The order of painting is not arbitrary
The interior of the bay has a different shade on a model than the outer surfaces of the airframe. The procedure is therefore always the same: spray the bay, let it dry through, cover it with the mask, and only then spray the airframe. Anyone who reverses that has to finish painting a deep and poorly accessible part with a brush over a finished coat, and that is work that shows in a large scale.
A bay is an enclosed opening with corners your finger cannot reach. The best way is to lay the template on dry, align it with the edge of the opening and then press the whole perimeter down with a toothpick or the blunt tip of a pair of tweezers; an edge that is not pressed down is the only place paint gets inside. Spray in shorter bursts and at lower pressure, so that the stream of paint does not look for a way under the film. Take the mask off as soon as the varnish has set; the edge tears off a hard layer.
