Technical details and benefits of use

The canopy masks are made from durable black film, which contrasts perfectly with glazing parts, making it much easier to apply and control positioning accuracy. A strong adhesive ensures perfect adhesion even to complex, curved surfaces, and the mask design minimizes the need for Maskol. The set includes innovative inside canopy frame masks—an uncommon solution in products of this class.

The painting stencils are made from high-quality, semi-transparent, and flexible film, allowing a perfect fit even on difficult shapes and curves. The gentle adhesive does not strip paint or leave residue, making this set an excellent choice for both beginners and advanced modelers. The included color aircraft drawings in four views greatly assist with accurate marking placement.
