About product

Omask 1:48 Mitsubishi F-2A/F-2B — Landing Gear Bay Plugs (for Hasegawa)

A set of shaped plugs made of flexible foam that go into the landing gear bays while the model is being sprayed. This is NOT a kit or an airplane model — it is a masking accessory. You must have the Mitsubishi F-2A/F-2B kit itself, in 1:48 scale from Hasegawa.

What the plugs are for

The landing gear bay is a deep, irregular cavity that the modeler paints first. Once the model is then sprayed from the outside, it has to be masked — otherwise overspray ruins the finished bay interior. Masking such a cavity with tape and cotton wool is a chore and still does not seal it properly. The foam plug simply drops into the bay, compresses and seals it on its own. It holds without glue and does not need to fit to within a fraction of a millimeter like a rigid 3D print. Once the paint dries, you just pull it out. It also protects the bay from dust and sanding slurry, and the plugs can be reused.

The real subject

The Mitsubishi F-2 is a modern Japanese fighter aircraft, developed from the American F-16 — but it is not an F-16. It has a noticeably larger composite wing, a longer fuselage, wider horizontal tail surfaces and its own Japanese avionics. The F-2A is the single-seat combat version, the F-2B the two-seat one. Because of exactly these dimensional differences, masks and accessories made for the F-16 cannot be used on the F-2 — and the same logic applies to landing gear bay plugs between different kits.

Compatibility and use

  • Designed exclusively for the Hasegawa 1:48 kit — the plugs will not fit a kit from another manufacturer.
  • Paint the bay interior first and let it dry thoroughly before inserting the plugs.
  • Press the plug in so it follows the bay's outline and does not stick out under the sprayed surface anywhere.
  • Once the spraying has dried, pull the plug out; do not leave it under dried paint that has run over the edge.

A modeling accessory. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package.

FAQ

No. It is a masking accessory — a set of foam plugs for the landing gear bays. You must have the Mitsubishi F-2A/F-2B kit in 1:48 scale from Hasegawa yourself.

No. The plugs are shaped for the specific Hasegawa 1:48 kit. The F-2 is derived from the F-16, but it is larger and differently shaped, so F-16 parts do not fit it — and the same goes for plugs made for a different kit.

Yes. It is inserted into the cavity, compresses, and its own springiness holds it in place and seals the bay. No glue or tape is needed, and once the paint dries the plug simply comes out.

Yes, the foam is flexible and springs back into shape once removed, so the set can be reused — for example on a repaint or on another copy of the same kit.
