About product

1:72 Mitsubishi Ka-14, templates for the prototype of the future A5M

The Ka-14 was a Mitsubishi development machine that in the middle of the 1930s answered a requirement of the Imperial Japanese Navy for a modern fighter. It had a clean all-metal airframe, fixed landing gear in aerodynamic fairings and a characteristic inverted gull wing, which was later straightened on the production version. It was from the Ka-14 that the A5M fighter arose, so this is a subject you do not come across every day.

What you mask on this machine

The cockpit was open, so the glazing is limited to the windscreen and any small transparencies. That does not mean it can be skimped, however. The windscreen of the prototype has its own shape, different from the later production machines, and in 1:72 scale it is small enough that a measured strip of tape will inevitably pucker on the curve. The template follows the outline of this particular part, so the border comes out thin and even and the clear area stays free of smears from a knife.

How to proceed with the painting

  • Before you lay the template on, check its orientation, as the shape is asymmetrical.
  • Degrease sanded or polished glazing beforehand, otherwise the edge will not hold.
  • Spray the interior color first and only then the outer shade of the airframe.
  • Lift the template before the finish fully cures, and the edge will stay sharp.

Who will find it useful

For collectors of less usual Japanese subjects and for anyone building the development line leading to the A5M. You will not find a Ka-14 model in the package, as the kit is bought separately and this set serves to paint it.

FAQ

The Ka-14 was the development machine from which the production A5M arose. It differed, among other things, in the shape of the wing, which was straightened on the production version.

No, the contents are only an aid for spraying. You look for a Ka-14 kit separately.

Do not count on it. The shape is cut to the prototype and the production machines had their glazing arranged differently.
