Montex MM48052 P-40E AMT – Mask Set for 1:48 Scale Model

The Montex MM48052 mask set is intended for modelers building a 1:48 scale plastic model of the Curtiss P-40E Warhawk aircraft. This product has been specially developed by the renowned Montex company with P-40E Warhawk models in AMT markings in mind, enhancing the quality of finish and precision of details when painting both the glazing and markings.

Product Description and Application Possibilities

The masks are made from high-quality modeling foil, which ensures perfect adherence to the model's surface and protects against paint seepage when using an airbrush or brush. The set includes precisely cut masks for the pilot's canopy glazing, allowing sharp and clear panel lines to be achieved. The masks cover both the transparent part and the frames—making it easier to create the effect of realistic cockpit glazing.
