Montex SM48247 is a high-quality set of modeling masks intended for the Westland Wyvern model in 1:48 scale, manufactured by TRUMPETER.

Intended use of the Montex SM48247 set

The Montex SM48247 masks are dedicated to the Westland Wyvern S.4 model – a British carrier-based fighter-bomber used by the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm during the Cold War, between 1953 and 1958. The Wyvern was famous for its use of a turboprop engine driving a large, four-bladed propeller, unusual for this type of aircraft. Its participation in Operation Musketeer during the Suez Crisis in 1956 makes it an important part of the history of British naval aviation.
