The Avro Anson Mk.I is a British aircraft used from the 1930s by the Royal Air Force and Allied air forces. During World War II, it was widely used as a training, liaison, patrol, and transport aircraft. It served on the fronts of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, and its durability and versatility ensured its place in many units until the mid-1940s. This aircraft played an important role in crew training as well as conducting patrol and evacuation missions.

The canopy masks are made from black matte film with high contrast against the glazing, making them extremely easy to position correctly. Thanks to optimal adhesive strength, the masks do not peel off from curved surfaces nor cause distortion. A key Montex innovation is the inclusion of masks for painting the canopy frames from the inside as well, allowing for a realistic effect even with an open cockpit.

The stencils for painting national markings, numbers, chevrons, and other details are made from flexible film with optimal adhesion and semi-transparency for maximum precision. They do not lift the base paint and can be easily adjusted to difficult surfaces.

• Difficulty level: 2 (easy-moderate; recommended for beginner and intermediate modellers)
• Recommendation: we recommend this set to all modellers seeking perfect painting results, especially those wishing to recreate markings faithfully to historical photographs.

The Montex K72012 set is a major convenience when painting a demanding aircraft like the Avro Anson Mk.I – it limits the need for liquid masks, increases painting precision, and enhances the realism of the finished model. An excellent choice for both contest and recreational model builds!
