About the Pe-2 model and mask application

Functionality and product advantages

The Montex K48317 masks are cut from matte, black high-contrast film which makes them easier to apply to clear parts of the cockpit and makes the edges more visible during work. The adhesive has been optimized for holding strength, ensuring the masks do not deform even on complex curved surfaces, and removal does not damage the paint. The marking stencils (stars, numbers, letters, chevrons) are made from semi-transparent, flexible film that adheres perfectly to irregular parts of the model. A unique feature is the ability to mask internal cockpit frames—an innovative solution that allows achieving an exceptional end result.

Who is this set for?

This set is especially recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers who expect the highest quality finish and historical compliance for their model. Application difficulty: 3/5.

Summary

Montex K48317 Pe-2 1/48 is an accessory that significantly raises the level of precision and authenticity of the Pe-2 model. With Montex masks, every modeler can easily achieve a professional result when painting the cockpit and tactical markings—unattainable when working with decals or liquid masking.
