1:72 Tachikawa Ki-54OTSU / Hickory one-sided painting mask for Special Hobby

Art Scale 1:72 Tachikawa Ki-54 OTSU / Hickory - single-sided spray mask

Pre-cut masking templates in kabuki tape for a plastic model of the Tachikawa Ki-54 OTSU in 1:72 scale. The masks are cut to fit a particular kit of this type and serve for a clean spray job on the frames of the extensive glazing and on the wheels. The single-sided variant covers the outside of the glazing.

How the mask works

• Numbered parts with instructions for accurate application.
• Kabuki tape follows the shape of the complex frames and does not let paint seep under.
• The wheel masks give a crisp transition between hub and tire.
• After spraying, the film comes off with no sticky residue.

The real subject

The Tachikawa Ki-54 was a Japanese twin-engine general purpose aircraft of the Second World War, given the Allied code name Hickory. It served for crew training and for liaison and transport duties; the OTSU version was intended for training in navigation, radio communication and gunnery.

Who the mask is for

• Modelers who want to spray the extensive glazing accurately without painting by hand.
• Builders who prefer pre-cut masks to ordinary tape.

The set contains masking films only. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.
