About the Mitsubishi Ki-51 Sonia:
The Mitsubishi Ki-51 was a light bomber and ground-attack aircraft used by the Imperial Japanese Army Air Service during World War II. Known by the Allied reporting name "Sonia," this aircraft featured a distinctive greenhouse-style canopy that provided excellent visibility for the crew. The Ki-51 served extensively in China, Burma, and throughout the Pacific theater.
Application Tips:
- Clean canopy parts thoroughly before applying masks to ensure proper adhesion
- Use tweezers or a soft modeling tool to position masks precisely on canopy frames
- Press masks firmly but gently to ensure complete contact with all surfaces
- Apply thin coats of paint to prevent seepage under mask edges
- Remove masks while paint is still slightly tacky for cleanest demarcation lines
- Store unused masks on backing sheet for future modeling projects
