Montex MM72132 PBY-2/5A ACADEMY 1/72 – Paint Mask Set for Model

Montex MM72132 PBY-2/5A ACADEMY in 1:72 scale is a professional Maxi Mask-type paint mask set, designed for modelers building a plastic replica of the famous American flying boat Consolidated PBY-2/5A Catalina from the Academy kit. The product is especially dedicated to demanding modeling enthusiasts who expect the highest precision in replicating paint details and want to achieve a professional finish more quickly without the tedious process of hand-cutting and fitting masks themselves.

The set includes carefully cut masks for painting cockpit windows, which significantly facilitates precise use of an airbrush or brush, protecting transparent elements from accidental soiling. The kit also contains high-quality stencils for applying national, tactical, and functional markings, such as US stars, side numbers, roundels, chevrons, or individual letters. The stencils were developed based on decals matching the Academy kit and historical documentation, ensuring historical authenticity of the painted markings.
