The Curtiss P-40M aircraft was widely used during World War II by the USAAF, RAF, Australians, Russians, New Zealanders, and other coalition countries. It saw combat across many theaters of war—from North Africa through China to the Pacific. Models in this series were especially used from 1942 to 1945.

Montex K48239 allows for precise and easy painting, even of intricate canopy frames, national insignia, tactical markings, as well as letters and numbers true to their historical originals. The canopy masks are cut from matte black foil, providing perfect contrast when applied to glazing, which greatly facilitates the work. The adhesive’s suitable strength ensures ideal adherence even on irregular, curved surfaces, minimizing the risk of paint bleeding.

Montex's innovative solution includes masks for painting the canopy frame from the inside, allowing for a highly authentic replica of the original effect. Marking masks are made from semi-transparent, flexible foil with a gentle adhesive that leaves no residue after removal and helps prevent paint damage.
