Montex SM48002 C6N1 Saiun Hasegawa – painting masks for 1:48 scale

Montex SM48002 C6N1 Saiun Hasegawa is a professional set of painting masks dedicated to the 1:48 scale plastic model of the C6N1 Saiun reconnaissance aircraft produced by Hasegawa. This product was created by the renowned Polish brand Montex, known for its top-quality modeling accessories that make every modeler’s work easier and more efficient.

Historical purpose of the model

The C6N1 Saiun (Iridescent Cloud) was an advanced Japanese reconnaissance aircraft from World War II, used by the Imperial Japanese Navy from 1944 until the end of the war in 1945. These units performed long-range reconnaissance flights, and thanks to their high speed and altitude, they were difficult to intercept by Allied fighters. For example, the C6N1 Saiun took part in operations in the Pacific, providing valuable intelligence during the battles of the Philippines and Okinawa.
