Responsibility details are not available.
A set of Dead Design masks for spraying the cockpit frames of the Japanese army fighter Kawasaki Ki-61 of the first series, called Hien, in 1:48 scale.
The Hien, literally swallow, was the only Japanese fighter built in series with a liquid-cooled V engine. A slim fuselage with a radiator under the belly gave it a silhouette so unusual that Allied pilots at first confused it with European types, and the code name Tony comes from that. The powerplant, however, was unreliable and airframe production often ran ahead of engine deliveries.
The Ki-61 has a low, elongated canopy with narrow frames that follow the slope of the fuselage spine. The width of the bars is small, so lining in with a brush is slow and a slight shift is enough for the frame to widen to the eye on one side only. A boundary set by the shape of the subject removes that problem, and you can repeat the result on the next model of the same type.
Rid the glazing of dust and grease, lay the mask on the frame and press it home firmly where the glass is curved. Apply the paint with an airbrush in thin coats and let it set between them. Lifting is easiest shortly after the last spraying, with a pull of the tweezers along the edge.
