Features and advantages:
The Montex K48105 masks offer precise protection of canopies during painting thanks to the innovative matte foil, which is easy to apply and perfectly contrasts even with small glazing elements, ensuring sharp paint edges and minimizing the risk of paint bleed. A unique feature is the inclusion of masks for painting the canopy frames from the inside, which is a world first – this guarantees a perfectly realistic interior finish.

The set also includes semi-transparent foil stencils, which lay perfectly even on curved model surfaces, allowing the painting of stars, numbers, chevrons, and other markings without using decals, significantly improving the realism of the finished model. The gentle adhesive is safe for freshly applied paint, while the foil’s flexibility eliminates problems with peeling or lifting of the mask.

Recommended for: all modelers building Jak-1 models in 1/48 scale who expect top-quality details and an authentic painted appearance. The set enhances the level of painting realism, allowing even very challenging patterns to be created without streaking or inaccuracies.

Build difficulty: 2/5 – an intuitive product for use by both beginners and more experienced modelers.
