Scale: 1/32

The Montex K32346 TEMPEST V 1/32 masking set was created especially for modelers building plastic models of the Hawker Tempest Mk. V fighter in 1/32 scale. This advanced accessory enables precise execution of all painting operations on the cockpit and aircraft markings, consistent with authentic historical references.

• Canopy masks – made from matte black foil, providing excellent contrast with the cockpit glazing, which greatly facilitates their application and better control during painting.
• Marking stencils – precise and flexible, suitable for creating RAF roundels, tactical codes, serial numbers, identification stripes, or individual squadron markings on the model.
• Innovative masks – the set also includes innovative masks allowing you to paint the canopy frames from the inside, enabling maximum authenticity.

Historical Background: The Hawker Tempest V is a legendary British WWII fighter aircraft, used by the RAF from 1944 onwards. It was renowned for its effectiveness against the V-1 and its superiority over German fighters and advanced jets over Europe.

The Montex K32346 set is recommended both for advanced modelers and intermediate enthusiasts who want uncompromising painting quality on highly detailed models. The product's innovation lies not only in the adhesive technology—designed not to peel off the paint layer—but also in the carefully thought-out foil construction: robust enough to fit even curved surfaces, yet easy to remove without undesirable side effects.

Montex masks provide quick and aesthetic application, even for complex markings and painting details required by this iconic British fighter. Thanks to the foil’s semi-transparency and precise die-cutting, modelers can more easily track the proper positioning of the mask, eliminating the risk of imperfections. For anyone building the Hawker Tempest V in 1/32 scale and aiming for a flawless finish, this is a highly recommended choice.

Assembly Difficulty Level: 2/5 (low – for intermediate and advanced modelers seeking to elevate their model’s finish)
