This product allows you to achieve perfect effects when painting cockpit canopies as well as national and tactical markings on historic aircraft models used by the Allies during World War II. The masks are intended for replicas of the famous American fighter Curtiss P-40M Warhawk, which was widely used by the Air Forces of the United States, Great Britain, the USSR, Australia, and other countries from 1941 until the end of WWII.

The Montex SM72365 set includes Mini Mask for canopy glazing and stencils for painting national insignia such as roundels, stars, letters, numbers, or chevrons, accurately replicating the actual marking schemes of P-40M combat units. The cockpit masks are made from black matte foil with strong adhesion, even on curved surfaces, preventing paint bleed and significantly simplifying the painting process. The semi-transparent, flexible foil used for the stencils easily adapts to model details, leaves no adhesive residue, and does not damage the painted surface.

A unique feature of this product is the possibility to mask the cockpit frames from the inside — a solution appreciated by advanced modelers seeking the highest level of realism in reproducing aircraft details. With this set, you can easily highlight intricate panel lines and achieve an effect close to the historical original. Additionally, the use of high-quality foil enables multiple uses of the masks, making the set extremely economical and practical.

Recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers — difficulty level 2/5. This product is ideal for anyone looking to enhance the realism of their aircraft models, valuing comfort and precision in painting without the need to use liquid masking.
