We present a unique set of model masking masks Montex SM48135 N1K1 Koyfu/N1K1-Ja Shiden TAMIYA designed for precise painting of 1:48 scale aircraft models. This product has been specially designed for Tamiya plastic models representing the Japanese N1K1 Kyofu and N1K1-Ja Shiden fighters—aircraft used by the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II.

Historical Description and Aircraft Purpose

The N1K1 Kyofu (Rex) was a floatplane fighter introduced into service in 1943. It was primarily designed to defend bases and support landings on islands lacking airfields. The later land-based version, the N1K1-J Shiden (George), proved to be a formidable opponent to Allied fighters due to its excellent maneuverability and firepower. It was used, among other places, in the defense of the Japanese Home Islands and in the Philippines during the final stage of World War II.
