Omask 57034 Ki-100-I Bubble canopy mask (for Finemolds FP22) 1/72 — Painting masks for the Kawasaki Ki-100-I model

The Omask 57034 set is a specialist collection of painting masks dedicated to the plastic model of the Japanese fighter aircraft Kawasaki Ki-100-I with a "bubble canopy", designed by Finemolds in the popular 1/72 scale. The product was precisely developed by the Polish manufacturer Omask with the aim of making the painting process of this unusual, multi-part pilot canopy as easy and accurate as possible.

Historical context: The fighter Kawasaki Ki-100-I was one of the most advanced Japanese fighters of the final stage of World War II (years 1945–1946). The aircraft, featuring a characteristic "bubble canopy", offered pilots excellent visibility, which was crucial in combat with Allied planes—especially over Japan in the last months of the war. This machine was used by the Japanese army and took part in the defense of the home island against American bomber raids.
