1:72 Canopy mask for A6M2/3

Rising decals 1:72 canopy masking set - A6M2/3 Zero

The set from Rising decals contains masking templates (masks) for spraying the canopy frames of the Mitsubishi A6M2/A6M3 Zero fighter in 1:72 scale precisely. It is neither a kit nor decals but a masking accessory that gives the canopy framing a crisp and clean finish.

The real subject

The Mitsubishi A6M Zero was the main carrier fighter of the Imperial Japanese Navy during the Second World War. The early A6M2 (Type 21) and A6M3 (Type 32) versions became famous for their long range and agility and were in action from the beginning of the war in the Pacific.

Use and tips

• Transfer the masks onto the glazing and seat them exactly along the canopy frames.
• Spray the frames, let them dry and peel the mask off carefully.
• Suitable for an airbrush as well as a spray can; it gives crisp edges with no paint bleed.

Who the set is for

• Modelers who want clean canopy framing without brush painting by hand.
• Builders of early Japanese fighters in 1:72 scale.

This is a masking accessory, not an airplane model. Neither the kit nor paints are included in the package.
