About the product

• A set of masks designed specifically for the Hawker Typhoon Ib model — an aircraft used by the Royal Air Force during World War II (years 1942–1945).
• Set scale: 1/48.
• Includes a complete set of masks for precise painting of the cockpit glazing, as well as stencils for national, tactical, and functional markings (including RAF roundels, numbers, letters, invasion stripes, and chevrons).
• The black matte cockpit masks are made of high-quality foil, which contrasts sharply with the glass, ensuring convenience and precise application.
• The flexible foil with a subtle but strong adhesive offers excellent adhesion to curved surfaces of the aircraft — it does not damage the paint surface and does not deform.
• An innovative feature is the ability to paint the cockpit frames from the inside as well, which allows for a more accurate reproduction of the real appearance of the model.
• The set also includes full-color four-view drawings of the original aircraft with marking placement, significantly simplifying the painting process and correct stencil positioning for the modeler.
• Product category: Plastic model accessories — painting masks precisely cut from foil.
