Eduard EX242 Ki-45 Kai Toryu 1/48 HASEGAWA – masks for the Japanese night fighter model

The Eduard EX242 masks are specifically designed for the Ki-45 Kai Toryu model in 1:48 scale from HASEGAWA. This product is intended for modelers who wish to achieve the highest quality detail reproduction when painting the cockpit and glazing elements of the Japanese twin-engine fighter Ki-45 Kai Toryu ("Dragon of Destiny"). These are factory-cut masks that significantly facilitate the painting process and allow you to achieve sharp edges where precision and consistent effects are required.

The Ki-45 Kai Toryu was a Japanese twin-engine interceptor fighter developed by Kawasaki during World War II. Used by the Imperial Japanese Army from 1942 until the end of the conflict, the aircraft saw action against B-29 bombers over Japan, as well as in combat in the Far East and the Pacific. Its distinctive feature was the widely glazed cockpits for both the pilot and gunner, which poses a real challenge for precise model painting.
