Art Scale 1:48 Ki-27 Nate is a double-sided self-adhesive masking set for the glazing of the Hasegawa kit of the Japanese Ki-27 fighter. It is not a kit but an accessory for painting.
Responsibility details are not available.
Pre-cut self-adhesive masks for the glazing of a Nakajima Ki-27 model in 1:48 scale. It is not a kit or a part of the model but an aid for painting: the masks are stuck onto the canopy glass, the framing is sprayed and, once they are lifted off, a clean clear area is left underneath. The name states the double-sided version, that is masks prepared for the outer and the inner side of the glazing. The inner masks let you spray the frames from the inside in the interior color, so that the cockpit looks right when you look into it, and at the same time they protect the glass from the inside while you spray the interior of the fuselage. A single-sided version that covers only the outer side is also made for the same aircraft.
Most trouble with masks arises not during spraying but before it. Wash the clear part in lukewarm water with a drop of dish soap, rinse it and let it dry freely on a paper towel, so that no grease from the mold and no fingerprints are left on the glass. From then on, touch the part only by its edges or with gloves on. Lay the mask on a perfectly dry surface, press it down with a stick from the center toward the edges and press the edges down thoroughly, because that is exactly where paint runs under. The set is cut for the Hasegawa Ki-27 kit, so the parts match the shape of its glazing and nothing has to be measured or cut.
The Nakajima Ki-27, known to the Allies under the code name Nate, was a Japanese single-seat fighter with fixed, aerodynamically faired landing gear and a long glazed canopy. It is that canopy that matters to the modeler: it has a great many narrow frames, and cutting them out of tape by hand is a lengthy job. Pre-cut masks remove that part of the work.
Paints, varnish and the kit are not included in the package.
