1:72 Nakajima Ki-43-II Hayabusa

Eduard 1:72 painting mask Nakajima Ki-43-II Hayabusa

A painting mask from the Czech manufacturer Eduard for a plastic model of the Japanese Nakajima Ki-43-II Hayabusa fighter in 1:72 scale. The masks are die-cut from thin yellow kabuki tape, follow the shapes of the frames precisely and leave no adhesive behind once removed. They replace cutting and masking with tape by hand.

The real subject

The Nakajima Ki-43 Hayabusa, known to the Allies as Oscar, was the main fighter of the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force in the Second World War. It was marked by exceptional agility and low weight. The Ki-43-II version received a more powerful engine and further modifications.

Use

• Carry the parts of the mask over to the canopy frames and, where applicable, to the wheels.
• Paint over them with a brush or with an airbrush.
• The tape ensures sharp edges with no bleeding.
• Once dry, take the mask off carefully.

Who the set is for

• Builders of the Ki-43 model who want to speed the masking up.
• Modelers who call for clean paint transitions on the glazing.

The mask is an accessory to a model. The model itself, paints and glue are not included in the package.
