Montex K72001 SM-79 1/72 – Mask Set for Aircraft Model

Montex K72001 SM-79 1/72 is a professional set of masks and stencils dedicated to modelers building a plastic scale model of the Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 bomber in 1/72 scale, originally produced by Italy during World War II. This is not a kit, but rather an additional accessory – a set of masking foils that significantly facilitate the painting process of both the cockpit and the exterior markings of the aircraft.

• Historical period: World War II

Product Features

The Montex K72001 SM-79 Mini Mask set includes precisely cut cockpit masks, allowing quick and clean coverage of glazing before painting. A unique feature of these masks is the use of black matte film contrasting with the clear plastic, which makes it easy and precise to apply both on the outside and inside of cockpit frames. This is crucial for realistic aircraft recreation and is a unique innovation offered by Montex.

Additionally, the semi-transparent foil used for paint stencils is flexible, adheres well to curved surfaces, and does not cause paint to peel. The stencils make it possible to apply realistic roundels, letters, numbers, chevrons, and other national and tactical markings to your model.

Advantages and Recommendation

The Montex K72001 SM-79 set is recommended for both advanced and intermediate modelers (difficulty level: 2/5). It increases work comfort and painting accuracy, saves you time, and helps you achieve a result consistent with historical realities, taking into account both photographic documentation and kit decals. This accessory speeds up and facilitates painting, eliminating the need for liquid masking agents such as Maskol.
