This set greatly facilitates and enhances the quality of painting cockpit details and markings on the model, providing professional tools for a realistic finish of this historical Japanese World War II aircraft replica.

High-Quality Material and Innovation

• The cockpit masks are made from black matte film, ensuring optimal contrast against the glazing – this guarantees maximum precision of application.
• The adhesive was chosen so that the masks adhere securely even to strongly curved surfaces, do not deform, and minimize the need to use liquid masks like Maskol.
• An innovative feature is the inclusion of masks that allow for painting the cockpit frames from the inside as well – a revolutionary solution that increases the authenticity of the model.
• The templates for national, tactical, and functional markings are made from semi-transparent, highly flexible film with a gentle adhesive – they do not lift paint and adhere precisely even on challenging surfaces.

Historical Specificity and Application

• The Ki-61-I Hien (Japanese: 飛燕, "Flying Swallow") model was a single-seat, medium-range fighter used by the Japanese Imperial Army Air Force mainly from 1942–1945 during World War II.
• These aircraft played a significant role in the Burma campaign and in the defense of the Japanese archipelago from Allied bombing raids.

Dedication, Application, and Recommendation

• This set is recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers (difficulty level 2 out of 5) who seek the highest precision and want to eliminate imperfections arising during cockpit and marking painting.
• Ideal for enthusiasts of Japanese aviation as well as modelers recreating World War II aircraft.
• The set includes selected masks for glazing and detailed templates for creating authentic aircraft markings. Also included are color reference drawings showing the positioning of markings from four angles.
