Montex MM48566 Ki-21-Ib for ICM 48195 1/48 – professional painting mask set for model kits

Montex MM48566 is a high-quality set of painting masks dedicated to the plastic model of the Ki-21-Ib aircraft in 1/48 scale, manufactured by ICM (catalog number 48195). The product falls under the category of model accessories – painting masks and has been specifically designed for precise and convenient painting of both the canopy glazing and national and tactical markings on model kits.

Product Features

• The set includes high-quality self-adhesive canopy masks made of black matte film, which contrasts with the glazing, making their application and positioning much easier.
• The adhesive used in the masks is strong enough to ensure perfect adaptation to the surface—even on curved shapes—without the risk of distortion.
• Innovative solution: the masks also allow for painting the cabin frames from the inner side, further enhancing the realism of the details.
• The set also comes with flexible, semi-transparent templates with gentle adhesive, allowing precise marking of all kinds of insignia—from roundels and tactical symbols to numbers and chevrons. Thanks to this, you can replicate the historical details of the Ki-21-Ib in full.
• The film used for the masks does not lift the paint, yet adheres closely to the surface, preventing paint from seeping under the mask.
• The product also includes color aircraft drawings in four projections with markings placement – an ideal aid for painting work.

History and Purpose of the Mitsubishi Ki-21-Ib Aircraft

The Mitsubishi Ki-21-Ib, also known as "Sally," was a Japanese medium-range bomber used by Japan during World War II. This aircraft took part in combat operations in the Pacific and Southeast Asia, including battles over Burma and China. The Montex mask set allows for authentic painting and marking of these aircraft from that era.
