Hasegawa QG71 (72171) Linoleum Masking Sheet for Destroyer Asashio 1/700

Hasegawa QG71 (72171) Linoleum Masking Sheet for Destroyer Asashio 1/700 is a specialist modeling accessory created for modelers assembling the Japanese destroyer Asashio in the precise 1/700 scale. This product is dedicated to the plastic scale model of the World War II warship, allowing the recreation of a realistic linoleum deck characteristic of the original Asashio-class ships.

The Asashio-class destroyers were intensively used by the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II, operating in the Pacific in battles such as the Battle of Leyte, Operation Ten-Go, or convoy operations around the Philippines and Malaysia. These ships were renowned for their high speed and effective torpedo armament, and their decks were often covered with characteristic dark brown linoleum, which is reflected in plastic model kits.

The Linoleum Masking Sheet from Hasegawa is an extremely thin, precisely cut masking tape that allows for fast, clean, and precise recreation of the texture and color of the deck on an Asashio destroyer model. Made from specialty high-adhesion vinyl material, it enables easy application and precise fitting even on the complex surfaces of the model. Laser-cut, it guarantees a perfect fit to the deck contours of the Hasegawa 1/700 model.
