Montex K48349 IL-2M 1/48 – Masks for Model Painting

The Montex K48349 IL-2M 1/48 mask set is a high-quality set of modeling accessories designed for the Ilyushin Il-2M attack aircraft model in 1/48 scale. The product belongs to the category of modeling accessories – paint masks – which significantly facilitate the precise creation of details on a plastic model. Thanks to advanced production technologies, this set meets the needs of demanding modelers seeking professional results.

• Mini Mask Version: masks for painting the cockpit glazing.
• Maxi Mask Version: masks for cockpits + stencils for national, tactical, and functional markings (stars, letters, numbers, chevrons), based on the decals from the base kit.
• Super Mask Version: masks for the cockpit + stencils for markings based on historical documentation, as well as color diagrams for the placement of markings on the model.
• Masks are made of a special, matte, black modeling foil. The foil is semi-transparent and highly visible against the cockpit glass.
• The product is dedicated to Ił-2M models that served in the Soviet Air Force during World War II – a Soviet ground-attack aircraft used from 1941 to 1945, crucial in the battles of the Eastern Front (e.g., Battle of Kursk).
• The adhesive ensures adhesion to curved surfaces without the risk of deformation or paint seepage, and a unique feature is the masks for the cockpit frames also on the inside.
• Marking stencils with delicate adhesive do not damage the paint layer, and the foil is flexible and easy to handle even on difficult fuselage curves.

These accessories significantly enhance the visual qualities of the model and reduce working time. We definitely recommend this product to all modelers expecting professional-level results!
