Montex K48271 SPITFIRE Vb 1/48 – Painting Masks for Plastic Model Kit

The Montex K48271 set is dedicated to the Supermarine Spitfire Mk Vb fighter in the popular 1/48 scale, which was one of the main fighter aircraft used by the British Royal Air Force. The Spitfire Vb took part in combat operations during World War II (years 1941-1945), fighting in, among others, the Battle of Britain, North Africa, and on the Western Front. The aircraft formed the backbone of Allied fighter aviation and remains an icon in the history of military aviation.

K48271 is a professional Super Mask painting mask set that allows for perfect reproduction of the Spitfire Vb plastic model's paint scheme details. The set includes:

• High-quality black masks for painting the canopy, made from a matte film that contrasts with the glazing, making application easy and flawless.
• Flexible stencils for painting roundels, letters, numbers, and other national and tactical markings consistent with historic RAF counterparts.
• Color instruction drawings in four views, showing the placement of all markings on the model.
• Special masks enabling precise painting of the canopy frames from the inside (an innovative world-first solution).

The material from which the masks and stencils are made is a precise, semi-transparent, and flexible vinyl foil with a gentle yet secure adhesive. Thanks to this, the masks adhere perfectly even to the most curved surfaces of the model without damaging the paint when removed. The entire set has been prepared based on original photographs and historical documentation, guaranteeing the replication of an authentic paint scheme.
