IBG 72M009 I.A.R. 80/81 PAINTING MASKS for all IBG Models I.A.R. 80/81 model kits 1/72

The IBG 72M009 I.A.R. 80/81 PAINTING MASKS set was developed specifically for modelers building 1/72 scale plastic fighter aircraft models of the I.A.R. 80 and I.A.R. 81, produced by IBG Models. The masks are made of thin, precisely cut foil that adheres perfectly to the model's surface, allowing for the creation of sharp, clean paint and camouflage lines, as well as precise reproduction of cockpit markings and details.

The I.A.R. 80 and I.A.R. 81 aircraft were some of the most important designs of Romania’s domestic aviation industry, seeing extensive use by the Romanian Air Force during World War II, especially on the Eastern Front. Their operational career began just before the outbreak of the war, with peak activity from 1941 to 1944. Due to the distinctive canopy shapes and diverse paint schemes, faithfully recreating their appearance in model scale requires highly precise painting masks.

The IBG 72M009 mask set contains all the necessary elements to protect the canopies, wheels, and characteristic camouflage details and markings of these historical machines. Thanks to the flexibility and excellent adhesion of the material, the masks fit complex surfaces perfectly, preventing paint from seeping even into the smallest crevices. The product is reusable and enables professional-level painting results without the time-consuming task of manual masking with tape.
