The Montex MM48462 masks not only greatly streamline and enhance the painting process, but also ensure perfect quality and sharpness of even the smallest markings' edges. Precise cutting and the flexibility of the material allow for excellent adaptation to the curves of the cockpit and wings. The set was developed based on the decals from the TAMIYA base kit (no. 61115), which enables the creation of markings almost identical to the original, but painted, not applied as decals. Forget about unsightly decals that may silver or peel – with Montex, every marking will be even and durable.

This product is especially recommended for intermediate and experienced aircraft modellers looking for tools to enhance the realism of their models. We rate the difficulty of use at 3/5: precision is needed during mask application and experience with airbrush or brush painting is required.

Montex MM48462 Ki-61 HIEN TAMIYA (61115) 1/48 masks stand out for their highest manufacturing precision and significantly improve the final quality of your World War II Japanese airplane scale model. It's an excellent choice for all modellers who appreciate realism and detail!
