About product

B5N Kate 1:72 — Eduard painting masks

A precisely cut set of self-adhesive masks from the Czech manufacturer Eduard for a plastic model of the Japanese Nakajima B5N Kate carrier aircraft in 1:72 scale. The masks in fine Japanese kabuki paper hold well, follow curved surfaces and leave no adhesive when taken off. They cover the heavily framed glazing of the long cockpit and the clear parts so that after spraying only the frames remain sharply outlined. The set usually also contains wheel masks for painting the tire and the rim separately.

The real subject

The Nakajima B5N, Allied code name Kate, was a Japanese carrier torpedo and level bomber. At the time of its service it was among the best machines of its class and played a key role in the early operations of Japanese naval aviation in the Pacific, including the attack on Pearl Harbor. The three-seat aircraft had a long glazed cockpit for the pilot, the navigator and the gunner.

Use and tips

Lift the mask off the sheet with a sharp blade or tweezers, lay it on the part and press it down all round. Lay the paint on in thin layers so that it does not creep under the edge. Take the masks off while the finish is fresh. Mask the long glazed cockpit patiently, field by field.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers building the B5N Kate in 1:72 scale
  • Those who want to handle the long, heavily framed glazing without masking by hand
  • Collectors of Japanese naval aviation of the Second World War
  • Beginners and advanced builders alike who want to save time masking

This is an accessory, not a model. The kit itself, paints and glue are not included in the package.

FAQ

No. It is a set of painting masks as an accessory to a plastic B5N Kate model in 1:72 scale. The model itself is not included.

Yellow Japanese kabuki paper, which holds well, follows curved surfaces and leaves no adhesive residue when taken off.

The B5N has a long, heavily framed glazed cockpit, and covering it by hand is slow. Pre-cut masks save time and give clean frames.
