Historical Usage

The Morane-Saulnier MS.406 was the primary French fighter during the French Campaign of 1940, and after the capitulation of France, many units came under the Vichy government's control. These distinctive aircraft in non-standard liveries were mainly used in North Africa for patrol, interception, and escort missions. Vichy markings—such as the red and yellow stripes—were a hallmark of these planes.

Product Description and Advantages

The Montex K32065 set allows you to realistically recreate the markings of French Vichy MS.406 aircraft. The kit includes:

• Masks for painting canopy frames – both external and internal sides (a world-class innovation!)
• Stencils for national, tactical, and functional markings (based on decals and reference materials)
• Colored placement diagrams – four different views of the aircraft

The mask foil is matte (for canopy) and semi-transparent (for markings), flexible, and perfectly adheres even to very curved surfaces. The adhesive provides a strong, secure hold without risk of damaging paint or clear parts. This minimizes the need for liquid Maskol, making the painting process much easier and faster.

Product Evaluation

• Difficulty level: 2/5 – the set is perfectly suited for both intermediate and experienced modelers
• Recommended for: especially for aircraft modelers building historic subjects, particularly World War II and Vichy France aviation enthusiasts. Great for dioramas and competition models.

This Montex set is a must-have for anyone seeking crisp lines, perfect detail painting, and historical accuracy. With the MS-406 (Vichy) 1/32 masks, your model will acquire a professional and realistic appearance, while work will become quick and efficient.
