1:48 Nakajima B5N1/B5N2 Kate landing gear bay masks from Dead Design. They cover the inside of the bays while the lower surfaces of the carrier torpedo bomber are sprayed.
Responsibility details are not available.
Die-cut masks from Dead Design for the landing gear bays of a model of the Nakajima B5N carrier torpedo bomber in 1:48 scale. The set has nothing to do with the glazing or with decals; it covers the open bays in the wing.
A bay is an enclosed space with several walls that cannot be reached comfortably by hand or with a brush. That is exactly why it is painted first and closed off first too. A die-cut mask fits into the outline of the opening and holds the edge where the interior meets the lower surface of the wing; a piece of paper or cotton wool, by contrast, shifts in the depth of the part and the edge gets smeared.
The Kate has a sizable wing with folding tips and the bays in it are fairly large, so overspray flows into them more readily than on a fighter. It pays to press the mask into all the corners with a stick and to look at the part against the light before spraying: where a gap shows through, the paint will get in too. If you build the model with the rear gunner's position or the pilot's station open, mask those separately; this set is intended for the bays.
The B5N was a carrier-borne torpedo and level bomber of the Imperial Japanese Navy with a crew of three and retractable landing gear. The designations B5N1 and B5N2 belong to the two main production versions, which differed in their powerplant.
