The Nakajima Ki-44 Shoki (designated by the Allies as Tojo) was a Japanese fighter heavily used by the Imperial Air Force during World War II, especially in the defense of Japanese airspace against Allied bombers. The model stands out with the distinctive shape of its cockpit, featuring multiple glazed sections, making precise painting of the glazing a challenge even for experienced modelers.

Eduard EX087 masks are precisely matched to the glazing and wheels of the Hasegawa model, radically simplifying the painting process and protecting the clear parts from unwanted contamination. Thanks to the use of vinyl foil, the masks adhere tightly to the surfaces, do not leave glue residues, and do not pull up paint, ensuring sharp and even masking lines. They are the ideal solution for both intermediate and advanced modelers who value their time and professional results.

We especially recommend this product to modelers who want to achieve excellent, realistic reproduction of cockpit and wheel details of the Ki-44 Tojo aircraft. We rate the difficulty of using these masks at 2 on a five-point scale – this is an easy-to-use accessory that greatly facilitates the work and increases satisfaction with the final effect.
