The Arado Ar 196 was the primary reconnaissance seaplane used by the Kriegsmarine during World War II aboard battleships, cruisers, and auxiliary vessels. Its main roles included observation, artillery fire direction, and fighting enemy submarines and naval units. The aircraft was in service from 1939 and widely deployed on all German warships until the end of the war.

The Montex SM48315 set enhances the realism of your finished model – the masks are perfectly fitted to the Italeri model's parts, allowing you to paint even very small and hard-to-reach areas such as glazed canopy surfaces or national insignia. The high-quality self-adhesive film eliminates the risk of paint bleeding, ensuring sharp edges and a professional final effect.

We recommend this product for both intermediate and experienced modelers who wish to achieve the most realistic appearance possible for their replica. Difficulty level according to our scale: 2/5 – mask application is simple, but precise painting requires some skill. Montex SM48315 is an indispensable accessory that will make your Arado 196 model stand out from the rest.
