About product

The Nakajima B5N Kate 1:48, masking of national insignia with a border

Masks prepared for spraying the Japanese national insignia onto a model of the carrier-borne torpedo bomber Nakajima B5N. The name specifies the version of the insignia with a white outline. On the Kate that is doubly useful, because the insignia sit on the extensive surfaces of the wing, where a decal has the most opportunities to lift on engraved lines and at the folding hinge. The set deals with spraying the insignia, and the Kate itself has to be built beforehand.

The real subject

The Nakajima B5N entered service as a carrier-borne torpedo and level bomber with a crew of three and with folding wings that saved room in the hangar of an aircraft carrier. It was precisely these machines that carried torpedoes and modified bombs over Pearl Harbor, and in the following year they had a hand in the sinking of several American aircraft carriers in the fighting in the Pacific.

The procedure when painting

Extensive wings call for an even base, otherwise the white ring will be a different richness on each side. Spray the light color in several light passes, therefore, not all at once. Once the outline is uncovered it pays to go over the edge with a very fine abrasive, so that the transition between the colors does not stand out to the eye, and then to tie the whole together with a clear coat.

Who the set is for

  • builders of Japanese carrier hardware of the first war years
  • modelers who would rather paint insignia with an airbrush than the wet way
  • those who want to weather the insignia together with the camouflage of the wing
  • anyone interested in a clean result on large areas without a dried film

FAQ

The insignia lie on large areas threaded with engraving and a decal settles on them less well. Sprayed paint follows the surface regardless of what is underneath.

Rather more thin ones than one generous one. White covers less well and a heavy build-up under a mask tears easily when it is uncovered.

Yes, masking goes by the surface of the model, not by the age of the mold. On older kits just check that the areas under the insignia have no coarse sanding marks.
