The Dead Design 1:72 set of masks for the Kawasaki Ki-100-I with the raised rear fuselage covers the long glazing behind the pilot while the camouflage is sprayed.
Responsibility details are not available.
This item from Dead Design deals with covering the glazing on the Ki-100-I in the form with an uncut rear end, that is, with the long glazing stretching behind the cockpit. It is exactly this feature that divides the early and the late examples of the type, and masking for the two forms therefore differs in the shape as well as in the number of areas that have to be covered.
The Ki-100 arose out of necessity. Finished Ki-61-II KAI airframes were waiting without their Ha-140 engines and Kawasaki installed the radial Mitsubishi Ha-112-II in them. The conversion turned out better than expected: the aircraft climbed faster, it was easier to maintain and pilots praised its behavior in a turn as well as at greater altitudes. The first series consisted of exactly those converted airframes with the original raised rear fuselage. It was committed in 1945, when Japanese units were defending the home islands against bombers as well as carrier fighters.
The frames of the long rear section of the glazing tend to be very narrow in this scale, so fine tweezers and strong side lighting pay off. After laying a piece on, run a fingernail over the edges through a soft cloth, so that no bubble of air is left anywhere. Before the camouflage spraying we recommend a light pass of the interior shade, which will at the same time reveal a badly seated edge. Spray at right angles to the surface, not at an angle under the edge.
