Montex SM48559 OXFORD for SPECIAL HOBBY 1/48 – painting masks set for aircraft model

Montex SM48559 OXFORD for SPECIAL HOBBY 1/48 is a precision painting mask set designed for modelers building a 1/48 scale plastic model of the Airspeed Oxford aircraft (model manufacturer: Special Hobby). This product is dedicated to faithfully recreating the cockpit and markings of the aircraft used by Britain and the Commonwealth Air Forces during World War II. The Airspeed Oxford was a twin-engine training aircraft, widely used by the Royal Air Force and its allies between 1937 and 1945, both for bomber crew training and as a transport aircraft. These machines were used, among others, in the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and numerous RAF flight schools.

Precision craftsmanship and innovative solutions

The Montex SM48559 set belongs to the category of professional modeling accessories – painting masks cut from the highest quality matte self-adhesive film. The black, matte canopy masks contrast perfectly with the clear glazing of the model, making precise application much easier both on the exterior canopy and – uniquely for the market – on the interior frames for maximum accuracy. The film is flexible and semi-transparent, allowing it to adhere perfectly even to the most curved surfaces, leaving sharp paint edges. Thanks to a balanced adhesive, the masks do not leave residue or peel off the paint when removed.

Set contents

• Masks for painting the cockpit and canopy (external and internal frames)
• Stencils for precise recreation of national, tactical, and functional markings: roundels, letters, numbers, and chevrons according to historical sources
• Color drawings from four views showing the placement of all markings

Product category
