Eduard CX466 B5N1 Kate AIRFIX 1/72 – painting mask set

Eduard CX466 is a professional set of painting masks dedicated to the 1:72 scale Nakajima B5N1 "Kate" plastic model, manufactured by Airfix. The masks have been carefully designed by the renowned Czech company Eduard – a leader in the production of modeling accessories, which guarantees a precise fit and the highest quality workmanship.

This product is intended for modelers building a model of the Nakajima B5N1 torpedo bomber, which served in the Japanese air forces during World War II. This airplane was widely used by the Imperial Japanese Navy from 1937 to 1945 and was involved, among other things, in the attack on Pearl Harbor and many naval operations in the Pacific, becoming one of the most recognizable Japanese torpedo bombers of that era. The Eduard CX466 set allows for a highly accurate reproduction of details as well as perfectly sharp lines when painting the canopy glazing and undercarriage wheels.

The product is recommended both for beginner and advanced modelers who value attention to detail when working on historical 1:72 scale models. The level of difficulty is rated at 1/5 – the masks are easy to use and do not require specialized assembly skills.

Eduard CX466 is an essential accessory for hobbyists striving to achieve the highest level of realism and precision when building their model of the Japanese Nakajima B5N1 "Kate" torpedo bomber.
