Why to use the masks instead of the decal?

Think how many times in your work was not satisfactory due to the decal?

I personally happened several times of the intended, that will indeed after hours spent in super dettaling zones that even to closed fuselage they will be few or nothing visible, to seek the way better than to reproduce the mimetic one and then to the laying of the decals, this last they break him or not adesiscono to the best or worse the shiny (silvering) profile is seen still.

Here is that there are help masks. Montex produces a range of templates for everyone, ranging from the line mask mini characterised by Ms prefix followed by scale (32,48,72) and the number of catalog that of provides for the supply of forms for the tetuccio inside and outside

The material is an opaque black plastic that contrasts with the lucidita of the transparent facilitating the pose, while plastic, form handling well and is pre-cut so follow curved trends of some canopy, maskol usage is limited to the minimum.

The second range is the Maxi mask that usually adds the insignia of nationality, numbers and patrol simbols; prefix is MM followed by numbers that identify the scale and product number.

The third range is truly exceptional and is suitable for experienced modelers, usually also adds the nose art (mainly American, but also the Germans aircrafti are covered) , the prefix is K and follows the same rules as other references.

The non plus ultra of the Montex is the series with KAM suffix that besides everything we find in the K there are also lated metal gun barrels really spectacular every package contains templates and instructions for the place in the series maxi and super are references of the subject colour and the various steps in the most difficult references.

Never afraid of the silvering the decal that don't follow panelling and make us become crazy to follow our favorite airplane shapes.

Labour obviously increases but the result will give great satisfactions.
