Montex K48133 offers a solution incomparable to traditional manual masking or the use of liquid Maskol. The black matte film allows for much easier application to canopies – its strong yet non-invasive adhesive ensures secure adhesion even on curved surfaces. The marking film, semi-transparent and highly flexible, not only protects details from paint seepage but also enables precise placement of even the most intricate symbols – without damaging the paint layer.

The Montex K48133 set is available in Mini/Maxi/Super Mask variants, allowing you to adjust the scope of protection and workflow style to your preferences. An additional advantage is the manufacturer’s innovative approach, facilitating painting of the canopy frame from the inside as well, which significantly increases the realism of the finished model.

We recommend this product to both beginner and experienced modelers — it greatly facilitates the assembly of 1/48 scale aircraft models, shortens the time required for precise masking, and eliminates the risk of inaccuracies. If you want perfectly reproduced details and historical accuracy of markings, the Montex K48133 set for the Bf 109E-3 Tamiya is a highly recommended choice.
