The set includes: precisely cut masks for painting the canopy frames – both from the outside and inside, which allows for a realistic replication of the glazing. Additionally, in the Maxi Mask and Super Mask variants, the user receives stencils for precise painting of tactical markings (roundels, letters, chevrons, numbers) and patterns consistent with photographic documentation from the era. The masks are made of film with strong yet gentle adhesive – they leave no residue and do not peel off paint, adhering perfectly even to the most curved surfaces of the model.

Using Montex masks allows you to completely abandon decals, ensures paint durability and realism, and the black matte film clearly contrasts with the transparent canopy, making precise positioning easier. Due to its high quality, the product is especially recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers who value professional finishes and historical authenticity.
