1:72 Ki-100-I Bubble canopy mask (for Finemolds FP22)

Omask 1:72 Ki-100-I - painting mask for the canopy

A set of precisely shaped self-adhesive masks for painting the glazing frames of the model of the Japanese Ki-100-I fighter with the bubble canopy in 1:72 scale. It is not a kit but a painting aid that makes masking more accurate and faster when spraying the cockpit.

The real subject

The Kawasaki Ki-100 was a Japanese army fighter of the closing stage of the Second World War. It came about by fitting a radial engine to the airframe of the Ki-61 Hien fighter and proved to be an agile and reliable machine. The version with the so-called bubble canopy had a lowered rear fuselage for a better rearward view for the pilot.

Use

• Apply the masks to a clean and degreased canopy and press the edges down carefully.
• Spray the frames first with the interior color, then with the top shade of the airframe.
• Remove the masks once the paint has dried, and the transitions will stay sharp and clean.
• The material adapts to the curvature of the bubble canopy.

Who it is for

For modelers who want clean frames on a rounded canopy without laborious cutting of tape.

The mask contains neither paint nor glue; it serves only for masking while spraying. The model, paints and other accessories are not included in the package.
