Montex K32245 IL-2M3 1/32 – Painting Masks and Templates

The Montex K32245 IL-2M3 1/32 scale set is a high-quality modeling accessory designed for precise painting of the IL-2M3 ground-attack aircraft model. This product is intended for use with plastic models of this machine—the Soviet armored aircraft widely used by the USSR during World War II. The IL-2M3 is a late, improved version of the famous “flying tank,” used from 1944 onwards on all fronts, both during Operation Bagration, the crossing of the Oder, and the Battle of Berlin. Thanks to this historical context, the masks allow for recreating realistic markings and details of a specific version of the model displayed in 1/32 scale.
