1:72 P1Y Frances/ Ginga

Eduard 1:72 P1Y Ginga (Frances) masking set

A set of pre-cut (die-cut) self-adhesive masks made of masking tape for models of the Japanese twin-engine bomber Yokosuka P1Y Ginga (Allied code Frances) in 1:72 scale. The masks follow the heavily divided framing of the nose and cockpit glazing exactly, so you get sharp frames without the long job of cutting. Circular masks for the wheel hubs are usually included as well.

The real subject

The Yokosuka P1Y Ginga was a Japanese twin-engine naval bomber used in the later stage of the war. It was marked by an aerodynamically clean design and it was conceived as a versatile machine for bombing as well as torpedo attacks. Among the Allies it carried the code designation Frances.

Use

• Stick the masks onto degreased glazing, working from the larger parts.
• Press the edges down carefully so that the paint does not creep under the tape.
• Spray the frames in the color of the airframe and carefully take the masks off once it has dried.
• The circular masks come in handy when spraying the wheels.

Who the set is for

• Builders of Japanese naval bombers in 1:72.
• Modelers who want sharp cockpit frames without cutting by hand.

This is an accessory for a plastic kit, not a model. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.
