Product Features and Benefits for Modelers

The mask set is made from high-grade black matte foil, which provides excellent contrast with the cockpit glazing elements. This makes precise mask application much easier and less time-consuming. The advanced adhesive ensures perfect adherence even to the most curved surfaces without the risk of distortion or paint leakage, and it does not lift off the base paint when removing the mask.

An innovative aspect of this product is the inclusion of masks for painting the cockpit frame from the inside – a technique seen among the most advanced modelers seeking hyper-realism. An additional advantage is the minimization of the need to use liquid masking agents as well as clear, semi-transparent, and flexible templates for national and tactical markings, which can be perfectly matched to the surface of the model.

• Masks for cockpits and templates for national markings (stars, numbers, chevrons) made from premium foil
• The adhesive does not damage the painted surface and leaves no residue
• Detailed, color placement guides for markings included in the set
• The semi-transparency and flexibility of the foil make it easy to apply even in hard-to-reach places
• Product dedicated for both beginners and advanced modelers

The use of masks significantly speeds up finishing work and helps prevent mistakes during painting.
