Omask 77221 Ki-61 Hien wheel bay plugs is an advanced set of plugs made from high-quality flexible foam, designed specifically for modelers building the Japanese Ki-61 Hien fighter in 1/72 scale by Tamiya. This product has been created to ensure maximum precision during landing gear painting. The plugs effectively protect the wheel bays from accidental overspray with airbrush or spray paint, which significantly enhances the aesthetic and professional finish of the model.

The Ki-61 Hien, also known as "Tony," was an aircraft used by the Japanese Air Force during World War II. It was one of the few Japanese fighters equipped with an inline engine, widely used between 1941-1945 over China and the Pacific. In scale modeling, maintaining clean details in such a small scale as 1/72 is particularly demanding – that is why accessories like the Omask 77221 set are highly valued among advanced and intermediate modelers.

The use of flexible foam ensures easy installation and removal of the plugs without risking damage to model parts. The appropriate density of the material guarantees that the wheel bay is completely shielded during painting – regardless of whether you use acrylics, lacquers, or enamels. The product requires no additional tools for application, is reusable, and leaves no marks on painted surfaces.

Omask 77221 is recommended for every modeler seeking the highest quality detail finish, especially for enthusiasts of Japanese WWII aircraft. We rate the handling difficulty at 1/5 – this set is suitable for both beginners and experienced miniature enthusiasts. It’s an essential addition to any modeler’s workshop who values cleanliness and precision in finishing even the tiniest details.
