The Messerschmitt Bf 109G-6 is a version of one of the most famous fighter aircraft of World War II, originally used by the Luftwaffe but also operated after the war by neutral Switzerland as both a fighter and a trainer. Swiss Bf 109G-6s were mainly used for patrolling air borders and training pilots during World War II and shortly afterward, until the early 1950s.

Montex K48162 masks were designed based on photographic and historical documentation of Swiss aircraft, which guarantees that the shapes and positions of the markings match the original. The black matte film adheres precisely, contrasting with the canopy yet leaving no adhesive residue upon removal. An innovative feature are the masks for the inside of the canopy, allowing cockpit frames to be recreated on the interior as well—a feature appreciated by advanced modelers.

The set is intended for modelers of various skill levels. The construction difficulty is estimated at 2/5, making the masks suitable for beginners as well as intermediate modelers, facilitating painting and enhancing the possibilities for detailed model finishing.

We recommend Montex K48162 to all modelers wishing to accurately reproduce the detailing and markings of the Swiss Bf 109G-6 in 1/48 scale without the risk of paint damage and with maximum precision.
