• Materials: masks and stencils made of high-quality semi-matte foil – excellent adhesion to curved surfaces, semi-transparent, flexible, and easy to use

Product description: Montex K48016 is a complete mask set allowing for precise painting of cockpit glazing and all key markings – such as Japanese "hinomaru" (roundels), tactical numbers, and additional operational insignia. The set versions (Mini Mask, Maxi Mask, Super Mask) differ in complexity: Mini Mask covers cockpit masks, Maxi Mask adds stencils for markings found in the kit's decals, while Super Mask is based on original source materials and historical photographs, offering placement calculations for all markings.

The mask for painting cockpit frames from the inside is a world-class innovation – guaranteeing a perfect recreation of the real aircraft's appearance. The adhesive on the foil sticks firmly but does not damage the surface or strip paint. The flexibility and semi-transparency of the foil make application easy and effective even on challenging surfaces (for example, a canopy with many curves). It reduces the need for liquid masking agents.

Recommendation: This set is recommended for both beginner and advanced modelers who value build precision, painting realism, and ease of mask application. It is an invaluable aid for hobbyists building World War II aircraft dioramas and enthusiasts of Japanese aviation.

• Difficulty level: 2/5 (easy to use, even for less experienced modelers)
• Manufacturer: Montex – a renowned specialist in modelling masks
