The set is dedicated to the plastic model released by Special Hobby.

Purpose of Montex MM48259 masks

The set contains precisely cut masks that fit perfectly onto the glazing elements and other surfaces of the Fairey Albacore model. Thanks to them, modelers can easily separate the areas intended for painting from other surfaces.

It significantly reduces working time and limits the risk of paint runs or leaks.
