Montex MM48076 is a high-quality set of masks dedicated to the B5N Kate model in 1:48 scale, compatible with the Hasegawa kit. This highly precise modeling accessory was created for demanding modelers who strive for a perfectly finished paint job on the canopy glazing and wheels of the Mitsubishi B5N – one of the most famous Japanese torpedo bombers of World War II.

Historical Information

The Mitsubishi B5N "Kate" was the standard carrier-based torpedo bomber of the Imperial Japanese Navy used during World War II, serving on aircraft carriers from the pre-war period up to 1945. The B5N participated in, among other operations, the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Battle of the Coral Sea, and the Battle of Midway, playing a key role in the aerial capabilities of the Japanese naval forces.

• The set includes masks for precise reproduction of canopy glazing and wheel elements.
• Compatibility: Hasegawa 1:48 scale B5N Kate plastic model kits.
• Country of the represented aircraft: Japan.
• Historical period: World War II.
• Material: high-quality self-adhesive film facilitating precise masking when airbrushing or using a paintbrush.

Application and Target Group

We recommend this product for both beginner and advanced modelers who want to achieve very clean edges when painting aircraft models. The set will be especially appreciated by those who value realism and time-saving. The masks spare you the laborious work of manually taping the glazing and prevent paint seepage under the tape.
