These masks allow for the recreation of accurate serial numbers, which enhances the realism of models representing vehicles used in Europe and the Pacific theaters in 1944–1945.

The set is dedicated to both advanced and intermediate modelers for whom precise detail is crucial. The technique for using the masks requires basic knowledge of airbrush work. Difficulty level – 2/5.
