Montex K48212 1/48 IL-2M3 Sturmovik Paint Mask with Decals for Tamiya kit

Type : Paint Mask

Super Mask Series - contain masks for painting cabins and stencils for distinctive paintings based on photos and other primary sources. Super Mask series also contains colour airplane drawings in four projections depicting the placement of the paintings.
The masks for cabins are produced of high quality black matt foil, which contrasts with the glazing of the cabin and is easily applied. The glue we use is strong enough not to let the masks deform on oval and curved surfaces.

How-to:
Preparing the masks: Masks should not be stretched during the application process as they are flexible and this could cause deformation. Remove the whole mask if necessary, and then apply again. Once placed on the model, the mask surface should be adjusted to the surface of the model by tracing all the indentations with a pointed wooden stick.
Painting method: Try not to apply two coats of color at the edges of a mask. Instead, apply one color prior to painting the proper camouflage, and apply the other color after the mask is back on. Otherwise, the coating in the areas encased by the mask may be too thick, and after removing the mask the edges of the lighter color may become visible.
