Masks for the Mitsubishi Ki-46-III Interceptor aircraft in 1:72 scale from the Czech maker Eduard. These are pre-cut self-adhesive masks for the glazing, not a model of the aircraft.
Responsibility details are not available.
Pre-cut self-adhesive masks for the glazed surfaces of a Ki-46-III model in the interceptor form, in 1:72 scale. It is not a kit of the aircraft but an accessory to one. Eduard, a Czech maker from Obrnice near Most, die-cuts the masks from thin yellow kabuki paper: it yields well to curves, stays in place and leaves no adhesive on a clear part once removed. The parts are lifted out of the sheet, stuck onto the glazing and removed after spraying, so that frames of even width with a sharp edge are created.
The Mitsubishi Ki-46 was a twin-engine reconnaissance aircraft of the Japanese Army Air Force, valued above all for its high speed and ceiling, thanks to which it could evade intercepting fighters for a long time. The Ki-46-III version was the furthest developed, and some of the machines went through a conversion into an interceptor intended against high-flying bombers. The conversion meant a different nose with armament and a change to the glazing, so it differs in shape from the reconnaissance version, which matters when masking the glazing.
First wash and degrease the glazed parts; on a greasy surface the paint bleeds under a mask. Lift the mask out of the sheet with a scalpel, lay it on and press it down, then rub the edges over with a toothpick, above all where the mask follows a curve. Spray in thin coats: first the color of the interior of the frames, then the base and finally the camouflage. A thick coat of paint creates a step on the edge of a mask that shows once it has been removed. Remove the mask soon after it has dried and pull it at an angle along the edge. With the long glazing this type has, it pays to remove the masks one at a time and to keep checking whether the paint is lifting as well.
The set contains masks only. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
