About product

Nakajima J1N1-S Gekko, moonlight over Rabaul

The machine was designed as a twin-engine escort fighter for the Imperial Japanese Navy, but it failed to meet the demands on agility and ended up in long-range reconnaissance. The turn came from the commander of a unit at Rabaul, who had pairs of cannons built into the fuselage pointing obliquely upward and obliquely downward. In May 1943 crews flying an aircraft modified in this way shot down the first American four-engine bombers, and the Navy took the modification into production at once under a designation with the suffix S.

The Japanese name Gekko means moonlight; Allied commands used the reporting name Irving. The early production form still kept the glazed observer's position behind the pilot, which later examples replaced with a solid cover. It is this first form that the cut is intended for.

The extent of the coverage

The canopy forms a long band of glazing above the pilot and the rear compartment and is divided by a larger number of transverse frames. The films break this area down into individual parts and are supplied for the outer and the inner side, so that the frame does not stay transparent when seen from the cockpit.

  • Aircraft: twin-engine night fighter of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
  • Production form: the early series with glazing behind the pilot.
  • Masked sides: the glazing and its inner face.
  • Boxing from: Tamiya, 1:48 scale.

The aircraft model has to be bought separately; the set holds the films alone.

FAQ

The first production examples of the night fighter version kept the glazed position behind the pilot. Later series replaced it with a solid cover, so the framing and with it the cut of the mask differ.

The modification was pushed through by a combat unit in the field, and only after the first successes did series production take it over. The cannons pointed obliquely upward and downward, away from the line of flight.

For the Tamiya release in 1:48 scale. Another rendering of the same type may have the glazing divided differently.

No, this is masking material on its own, for painting.
