Masks for bringing out the control surfaces and flaps of the Kawasaki Ki-61-I Hien optically in 1:72 scale from Dead Design. The sprayed shadow creates the impression that the moving surfaces are separate from the fixed structure.
Responsibility details are not available.
A Dead Design masking set intended for painting the control surfaces and flaps on a model of the Japanese Ki-61-I Hien fighter in 1:72 scale. These are not cut parts and it is not a conversion set; the model is not modified in any way.
The principle is simple. The mask covers part of the surface and a fine darker shadow is sprayed along the dividing line. The eye then reads the shadow as a gap and an edge, and the surface suddenly looks as if it were separate and slightly deflected. It is an optical illusion, nothing more: the part cannot actually be deflected and nothing movable is created on the model. It stays paint on the surface.
Let us be straight about it: in 1:72 scale the result is finer than on large models. The surfaces are small, the shadow has to be narrow and its strength is easily overdone. It pays to keep the contrast low: the aim is a hint of depth, not a black line. On a finished model it shows mainly in that the tail surfaces and the wing stop looking flat and give the eye something to catch on.
The Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien was a Japanese army fighter of the Second World War with an inverted V12 liquid-cooled engine, which was an exception among Japanese machines of the time. The I series included several production variants.
