Montex K48155 P-40E (Desert RAF) 1/48 – Painting Masks for Canopies and Markings

Montex K48155 is a professional set of modeling masks designed specifically for the Curtiss P-40E Warhawk fighter model in 1/48 scale, used in RAF desert markings. This product is intended for modelers who build replicas of historical WWII aircraft and wish to achieve the highest level of detail when painting plastic models. Precisely cut masks and stencils allow for realistic painting of canopies as well as historical markings typical for RAF aircraft used in the North African campaign from 1941 to 1943.

The Curtiss P-40E fighter was widely used by the Royal Air Force on the North African fronts. Famous, among others, for its actions at El Alamein, this aircraft was distinguished by its characteristic desert camouflage as well as British roundels and functional markings. Montex K48155 allows you to replicate paintwork details at the highest level of historical accuracy.

The product is a result of in-depth analysis of archival photos and source materials, guaranteeing historical accuracy of the markings.
