About product

National insignia for the late Shiden versions, masks 1:72

This set from Dead Design serves for spraying the Japanese national insignia onto a Kawanishi N1K2-J or N1K3-J model in 1:72 scale. An insignia applied through a mask lies directly in the finish, so no glossy step appears at its edge and no outline of a carrier film shows up after a matte coat, the way it sometimes turns out with decals.

The real subject

The N1K series arose from converting the Kyofu floatplane fighter into a land-based machine. The N1K2-J version received a reworked fuselage, a low-set wing and simpler landing gear, while on the N1K3-J the powerplant moved and the armament was revised. With four cannons and automatic combat flaps it was one of the few Japanese fighters that could deal even with the late American types. Its best-known service was with the 343rd Air Group in 1945.

How to spray the insignia

The area under the insignia has to be smooth and matte, as the edge will blur on a grainy surface. Red covers poorly, so put a thin white preparation under it, otherwise it will go brown over green camouflage. Apply the paint at right angles and lead it from the center to the edge, so that it does not get under the mask. Lift shortly after it has set and level any overrun with a cotton swab and a drop of thinner, not by sanding.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of Japanese naval fighters in a small scale
  • Modelers whose decals silver on the wing
  • Anyone interested in the machines of the 343rd Air Group of 1945
  • Those who weather the insignia and want them in the finish

FAQ

A sprayed insignia has no thickness or glossy edge of its own and takes even rougher weathering. On the large areas of the wing the difference shows mainly after the whole model is given a matte coat.

Over dark green camouflage definitely, otherwise the disc will darken. Lay the white only into the area of the future insignia, so that no light patch forms around it.

Above all in the moved engine section and small revisions to the armament and the landing gear. The placing of the national insignia stayed similar on both versions.
