Product Description

Montex MM24022 is a professional set of painting masks dedicated to the precise painting of the Supermarine Spitfire Mk IX model. Thanks to advanced development based on original source materials and Airfix documentation, the set contains everything necessary for a realistic finish of the model in one of the most popular large scales – 1/24.

• Canopy masks made from black matte foil for maximum contrast during application. They adhere perfectly, do not deform on curves, and minimize the need for liquid mask products.
• Stencils for painting national, tactical, and functional markings (RAF roundels, code letters, chevrons) designed according to the Airfix kit decals and historical analysis.
• Semi-transparent, flexible foil with an adhesive strong enough for working on difficult surfaces, without causing paint to peel off or damaging model details.
• The set also includes color diagrams of markings placement for authentic reproduction.
• Innovative inside-frame canopy masks – a solution available exclusively from Montex products.

Historical Information

The Supermarine Spitfire Mk IX served in the Royal Air Force and allied air forces, primarily during World War II (1942–1945). It was a response to the appearance of the German Focke-Wulf Fw 190. These aircraft participated in battles over Western Europe, Africa, Italy, and notably fought in the famous Battle of Normandy.

Material

The masks are made of high-quality vinyl foil, strong and flexible, specially adapted for painting applications in scale modeling.
