Product Features

The Montex K32253 set includes three components: Mini Mask (canopy window masks), Maxi Mask (masks plus stencils for national markings, numbers, chevrons, etc.), and Super Mask (an extension including markings based on historical sources and precise paint schemes in four projections). The canopy masks are made from black matte film, which makes them easy to identify on the glazing, ensures excellent adhesion even on curves, minimizes the need for liquid masks such as Maskol, and allows for painting the canopy frames from the inside as well – a worldwide innovation.

Quality and Work Ergonomics

Marking stencils are produced from a special semi-transparent, high-quality film with a very gentle yet effective adhesive. This means they do not lift the paint, while still adhering closely even to heavily curved surfaces, allowing for deep detailing without smudging or paint bleeding.

Historical Use

The Dewoitine D.520 was a French fighter from the World War II era. It was used by the French Air Force during the 1940 campaign as well as by the Free French forces and Vichy Air Force. These machines took part in many combat operations and were considered among the most modern aircraft at the outbreak of the war.

Recommendation and Difficulty Level

The product is recommended for both advanced modelers seeking the highest precision and perfect execution of markings, as well as for intermediate aircraft modeling enthusiasts. The Montex K32253 set provides comfortable use, saves time, and reduces the risk of paint damage. We rate the level of difficulty as 3 (on a scale of 1-5).
