Historical information – BAC Strikemaster

The BAC Strikemaster is a British training and combat aircraft produced since the 1960s. It was developed as an upgraded version of the Hunting Jet Provost. Strikemasters were mainly used during the Cold War, serving both for advanced pilot training and for light attack missions and air support. This aircraft was operated by many air forces, including those of the United Kingdom, Oman, Ecuador, New Zealand, and Sudan. The Strikemaster played a particularly significant role in the conflicts in Oman during the 1970s, where it was used for counter-insurgency operations.

Application and difficulty level

Montex SM72261 is a product recommended for both intermediate and advanced modelers. The masks allow for precise delimitation of colors when painting the cockpit canopy and other transparent elements, which greatly improves the visual appeal of the finished model. Using masks significantly increases realism and makes it much easier to achieve an even division of transparent parts—something often difficult to do by hand.
